Aspire Counseling Services LLC – Bakersfield

Just want to start out to say thank you to most of the staff! Lisa, Kim, and Jes are amazing counselors! Also Gage is amazing. Dmitri is one of those guys that really wants to help and listens to everything and never… forgets I see him being one of the best counselor in Bakersfield once he makes that leap. Only negative thing I have to say is I just wish the Counsler that I had was more attentive to me. Out of my whole time there I believe I only spoke with her twice and just wish things would have ended a little differently. No need for me to explain any further. I 100% recommend this place right people and support.

Great professional staff that truly cares about providing the best experience for their clients.

Where to start from the front reception to the counselors the managers everyone very welcoming and relatable... Would highly recommend to anybody

I completed there program in 2019 great place to learn about recovery , yourself, and to get the help you need. The staff cares.

Aspire is my second home, everyone there welcome you with open arms. And help you out with with your addiction. If I could give it more star's I would.

I’ve been enrolled in both the behavioral health center and the counseling center for substance abuse. These programs have changed my life and helped me beyond measure. I highly recommend to anyone who is seeking help… with addiction and/or mental health. All the counselors in both programs are supportive and insightful in their respective areas of expertise. A group setting along with the various therapy strategies are utilized to help their clients. My personal experience with the anger management courses was eye opening and provided tools to use in my life.( one of my favorites) Another favorite of mine was family group night, for the families of addicts and alcoholics. This was a very beneficial resource for my wife and me. I could go on and on about both of these programs but I’ll end with this. If you come to either of these programs with an open mind and an open heart they are almost guaranteed to help you with your healing journey.

Love this place!

I am forever grateful to the entire team at Aspire Counseling Services. From the moment I arrived, depressed and broken, I was met with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. This isn't just a facility; it's a… place that gives you your life back. The program itself was incredibly well-structured, blending evidence-based therapies similar to individual counseling and group sessions with holistic approaches such as yoga, gym attendance and mindfulness. This combination helped me address not just the addiction, but the underlying causes and traumas that fueled it. The counselors are not just doing a job; they are dedicated, insightful, and truly invested in each person's recovery. The environment was safe, clean, and supportive, allowing me to focus entirely on my healing. The aftercare alumni program is a testament to their commitment to long-term recovery. To anyone hesitant or seeking help for themselves or a loved one: I cannot recommend Aspire highly enough. Taking that first step is terrifying, but this team will walk with you every step of the way. Thank you for giving me a second chance and the tools to build a healthy, sober future.

Thank you Aspire for saving my life & being my second family! I thought I left a review already, oops!

I am still in the process of rehabilitating in Aspire. I struggled with substance abuse and they made me feel like I wasn't judged. The facility is clean, especially the bathrooms. The staff is nice and understanding… and really try to put themselves in your shoes. I highly reccomend Aspire Counciling if you need an out for a nasty habit. (SHOUTOUT TO CYNTHIA & DMITRI👍👍👍)

Great place to receive care. Everybody treats you like family. The facility is clean and neat.

This place is amazing. The support that you get from this environment is second to none. They offer individual sessions, group, different forms of therapy and gym. The staff not only are compassionate, they genuinely… care about you getting better. If you want the help Aspire will join you on this journey of recovery. Don’t hesitate any longer and join them.

Aspire offers an amazing program that varies from self care, relapse prevention, to the understanding of addiction. When you attend Aspire you’re not just receiving treatment with substance abuse you also become part of… a family with the staff but also the other clients you meet here. Lifelong friendships are formed that only want to help see you succeed. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Aspire needing help to recovery!!

I love Aspire. This place has been a safe place for me. The staff is amazing and very helpful and understanding.

I started group counseling at Aspire in November 2022 and graduated the program in January of 2023. A special thanks to all the counselors, JT, Melissa, Justin, and Marty, for not only their guidance but also for the… genuine care they have shown all of their clients. I continue attend, not only to show the newcomers that sobriety is obtainable but because I am still getting something out of it. The groups are fantastic. Thank you all.

All the counselors and Camaraderie is exceptional and care and compassion that each and everyone possess is admirable

I can only speak about this Aspire location where I received treatment. The counselors as well all class instructors were very professional and provided outstanding instruction. I really appreciated there strong… suggestions in stating that it's extremely important to stay connected in after care as this is a stepping stone to a great life in recovery. I'd highly recommend Aspire at Brimhall. I've been truly blessed.

Aspyer is amazing place if you’re seeking help, staff is amazing, caring, loving. It Is a great program to help you get back on track. I promise if you listen to what they say to do in the program, you will get sober… and stay sober. Also I love after you graduate they call you alumni and you are welcome to come back anytime. Definitely recommend this place. Thanks, Aspire.

I don’t know where to begin. I walked into Aspire for aftercare counseling after my completion of 30 day inpatient elsewhere. As with anything new, the change was scary, especially being in such a mental fog and still… feeling lost. Although I had already completed 30 days, I was and still am in the early stages of my journey and have a long way to go. I immediately felt comfort as I walked through the door. Quite literally, I was stepping into my new life. I knew, I was finally home. Group is insightful, releasing, healing and gaining perspective on a new life and how to live it. I checked in for self help and found a community, a family who was just like me. Never have I ever, felt such a sense of belonging and fellowship. We are not only processing our own emotion, but helping our peers process as well. Our stories and shares have connected and bonded us together. We offer love and support to one another, I have met some lifelong friends through Aspire, that I call family. Through counselor’s guidance, we were able to re-wire our minds with new healthy behaviors. My case counselor, Lisa is absolutely incredible and probably thee most genuine people I’ve ever met. She is a true mentor and inspiration in my own journey. Lisa is not afraid to tell you the raw truth, yet has a huge caring heart. She’s someone who genuinely cares for her patient’s well being, all while keeping us accountable. Kim is amazing. She loves hard, is peaceful and energetic all at once. She loves her job and patients. She walks closely with us on our long journey. Lauren is kind, welcoming and brings a sense of calmness, while guiding through your chaos. She holds your trust tightly and is so very spiritually understanding. I can’t emphasize it enough, she just…gets it. Everyone is extremely professional and willing to hold your hand through the process. I can truthfully say, Aspire saved my life. I have fought the battle, as I will daily. However, now it is different. Now, I have the proper tools and skills to stand in my ‘new me’ glory. Having recently graduated the 90 day program, I am incredibly ecstatic to be an Aspire alum, and will continue to attend. Believe me, I understand acceptance to change is terrifying. At Aspire, you’re in nurturing hands. It drastically changed my life, for the better. 13/10 would highly recommend!

This place has been such a game changer for me. Not only have they helped me to become stronger and more aware, they have given me a second family. One that supports me, loves me and gives me hope. Thank you Aspire!

Lisa is my favorite counselor!!! She is the best and will check on you if you ever need her. Very good communication
