John is the best! I highly recommend this place,you will be taken care of well, and John is so knowledgeable and professional. I've learned so much thanks to John. Trust me, don't go anywhere else. 👍🏼

My experience at Counseling Associates was honestly nothing short of amazing. They were very professional, helpful and always responded very quickly to any questions or problems I had. My counselor John really helped me… through dark times in my life and was completely understanding and thoughtful of what I was going through. The classes he offered really gave me some perspective I never thought Id have. Most of all he treated me with respect even at a low point in my life when I didn't feel I like deserved it and made me realize I'm not defined by the mistakes I've made. Thank you guys for everything❤️

My experience with John was great and so was the outcome.I gladly recommend John to anyone when it comes to drug and alcohol counseling.Thank you sometimes don’t seem like enough for what you do.Kathy

5 stars. Honestly, I really appreciated these classes. The instructor was chill, easy to listen to, and clearly put a lot of effort into what he was teaching. I actually tried to pay attention and take something useful… away from the classes, and I feel like I did. I learned things that I think I’ll genuinely carry with me going forward.

I was a little suspicious at first because I have never been through this type of ordeal with this counselor was very easy to work with very understanding about the situation and got me through what I needed to do so… that I can get back to work will refer him to anyone who is going through similar mishaps or unfortunate circumstances.

The people here at counseling Associates LLC are wonderful and very helpful, they're courses offer great insight and in-depth courses on reducing and eliminating future risk and substance use and stopping it dead in its… tracks. 10/10 would recommend John in particular is Amazing!

I had such a great experience with Counseling Associates. I would highly recommend John for your services. Thank you again!

John is a fantastic councilor, his classes paved the way for my sobriety and couldn’t be more thankful for his help.

There is often hesitance when one looks into counseling. For whatever reason that may be. You don't get that at Counseling Associates. I'm grateful that I was able to speak and work with John. He was and continues to be… a tremendous help and support for myself and many people that I know. I recommend this group to anyone seeking comfort, clarity, direction, support and advice. Thank you John and the Team at Counseling Associates

Prepaid for a class i was unable to attend. Request for a refund was not acknowledged. Being a smaller practice id expect someone to work with me

John is a great counselor. He listens and is non judgemental. He shows empathy when warranted. The class felt comfortable talking to him and the class. I really appreciated that the class was a zoom meeting. John… punctual and starts the class exactly on time. I thought I would dread taking the classes but it ended up not being the case. I got a lot out of the teachings. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone who needs them.

John is very helpful and informative. He was also very quick to get back to me any time I sent him an email.

Great experience with an outstanding counselor, John Lazar. Class is inviting and makes you feel comfortable enough to share your feelings openly.

I am beyond satisfied with the service of this company. They’re very prompt with the meetings, follow-ups, and easy to get in touch with. I recommend them to everyone.

John was Fantastic!

John’s class was exceptionally helpful in my recovery! He helped me realize the person I was behind my use of drugs and alcohol! His techniques in group therapy, videos, and questions helped me see that I am a good… person and that I do not need drugs and alcohol in my life! Highly recommended!

John is a great councilor.

Great counseling services for anyone that requires state mandated or is looking to improve themselves. Highly recommend John and Counseling Associates team!

John made me feel completely comfortable and was in a judgement free zone the whole time. Made the process painless and helped me all the way through with information on what my next steps are.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but John created a very welcoming environment. Highly recommend his services. Thank you, John.

John is amazing and made the entire experience seamless. Thank you for all of your help!

This review is specifically for John Kizhakedan. I was needing a new evaluation, because Care Clinics messed up my evaluation, and needed them to correct some errors they made. Rather than redo the mistake they made on… my assessment, they wanted to charge me another 100 dollars for a mistake they made. I decided to go somewhere else, and I googled other facilities that can help me, and sure enough Counseling Associates LLC, was highly recommended, and there is a reason for that. Firstly, I reached out via email to this establishment. And they replied back within an hour, after I explained my situation of needing an Evaluation for court. Needless to say, they make things so easy and convenient when your filling out the forms, even on your phone, it's so easy to get it done. They literally fill out most of the forms for you. Secondly, They were went above and beyond to give me my evaluation over Zoom, within two days. If you are looking for an evaluation or compassion and no judgement, John Kizhakedan, is the person to see. He was very understanding and nice and very helpful thorough this process. Not only that, he got my evaluation done the same day, without having to wait days for my evaluation for court. He certainly went above and beyond to help me out. This is rarely ever done by anyone, especially when it was close to the Holidays. John truly is an amazing person, and he does listen, and does not Judge, and makes you feel welcomed. If you are looking to get an evaluation, or needing classes. I would recommend to anyone reading this review, talk to John or ask about John. He truly was a pleasure to work with and he definitely will help you. Thank you again for your help John. Anyone who reads this review, look no further. Cause you will certainly, Be helped in your time of need!

Working with John during the hardest time of my life was the best decision I made . John is very calm, compassionate and approachable . Each session with him was relieving , and helped me through my struggles . I… recommend using John to help understand and cope with any struggles you may be having .

I learned and enjoyed these classes because of the facilitator John. If you're thinking of signing up for these types of classes trust me John is your guy.
