Counseling

 Ozarks Counseling Center, a regional resource for affordable counseling, has been one of Springfield’s best kept secrets for more than 60 years. Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve restructured our service model. We offer focused, goal-oriented counseling for up to 10 appointments. Our purpose in these sessions is to identify and address the issues affecting you, help build coping and communication skills, empower you to solve problems and resolve conflicts, provide you with tools to process grief, change and trauma, and help you forge healthier, more satisfying relationships.
