Program Information

Momentum Counseling Center’s court mandated counseling program is the highest quality with a reputation of being client friendly treating each person with dignity and respect.  We realize court mandated counseling can be expensive, that is why Momentum Counseling Center offers a free evaluation.

We value each person by taking our time and doing one-on-one sessions--not throwing our clients in a group session.  Group sessions, according to the latest research, have been shown to be ineffective for substance abuse, anger management, and batterer’s intervention counseling.  In addition, group sessions are also a violation of the individual’s right to confidentiality forcing the client to reveal sensitive personal information to others.

Because each person is valued, clients speak directly to the doctor for program information and scheduling instead of a receptionist or secretary.  Rather than being told by the agency when sessions are held, clients select the day and time for their appointment most suitable for their schedule.  Clients also see the same counselor for each visit not a rotating staff.

Clients are greeted promptly at the time of their appointment and a telephone call is made the day before scheduled appointments as a courtesy.

Momentum Counseling Center is conveniently located in the Murdock area of Port Charlotte in a modern facility called the Paulson Centre.
