Because your mental health deserves a specialist!
Welcome to Psychological Counseling Services (PCS), a team of mental health experts dedicated to providing individualized treatment for growth and healing. We are a group of mental health professionals who utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients. Our mission is to create a safe and challenging environment for individuals, couples, and families to receive the healing and restoration they need.
Who We Are
PCS was established in 1974 by Ralph H. Earle, PhD, and was later joined by his son, Marcus Earle, PhD, in 1988. Together, they developed the private practice, Psychological Counseling Services, which has since evolved into a unique group dynamic, approach to therapy, and a team of dedicated individuals. Our team comprises highly-trained and nationally-recognized mental health professionals and a passionate, professional staff that prioritizes your needs, treatment, and communication.
Our Approach
Since the beginning, over 45 years ago, PCS has utilized a multi-disciplinary approach to provide individuals, couples, families, and partners with mental health treatment. Our approach is continuously evolving through the incorporation of skills and styles from highly-trained, nationally-recognized mental health professionals, within and outside of our PCS team. We believe that our unique, multi-disciplinary approach, combined with psychoeducation, group, and individualized sessions, is the top option for difficult cases and an effective recovery strategy.
Our team provides treatment for a broad range of psychological disorders and family/relational issues, with a unique niche and international recognition in the treatment of sexual addiction for addicts and their partners. Our Intensive Model, "Steps to Health and Wholeness, " has proven to be effective in identifying the negative core beliefs, family of origin issues, and trauma which interfere with long-term recovery.

Program Experience and Effectiveness
The intensive program for trauma recovery has been described as "life-altering" and a "start of a whole new life." Participants have reported having a clear path to healing and a higher quality of life after completing the program. The program is considered hard work, with 70 hours of therapy in eight days, but is considered worth it.
Staff and Therapists
The therapists at the center have been praised for being extraordinary, getting the whole picture quickly, and leading clients on a recovery path that is unique to each individual. Specific therapists, such as Kris and Suzanne, have been mentioned as being excellent and having a significant positive impact on clients.
Front Desk and Administrative Issues
However, there have been several complaints about the front desk staff and administrative issues. Clients have reported issues with scheduling, including being told that their appointment was not in the system despite having received confirmation paperwork. The front desk staff have been described as rude, unapologetic, and lacking in empathy and customer service skills.
