Great to meet you
The Counseling Center is an outpatient treatment facility and part of the Praesum Healthcare family, which was established in 2004. The center provides person-focused outpatient recovery treatment for substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders. They offer three levels of care: standard Outpatient Counseling (OP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). Treatment is individualized through thorough evaluation and includes group and individual therapies designed to address underlying causes of addiction such as mental disorders and trauma. The center is led by Dr. Christopher Rienas, a double board-certified psychiatrist in Addiction Psychiatry and General Psychiatry. Praesum Healthcare operates treatment facilities across five states along the Atlantic Coast and provides a continuum of care including detoxification, residential inpatient treatment, and aftercare planning through affiliated facilities.

Specialties & focus areas
Recovery focus
Co-occurring
Other focus areas
Evidence-based approaches
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.
Trauma-informed care
Trauma-Informed Care. Approaches addiction as something layered on top of unprocessed trauma, not in isolation. Pacing matters more than confrontation.
Activity therapy
Activity Therapy. Structured therapeutic activities, recreation, movement, hands-on tasks, used as a vehicle for connection and emotional regulation. Often paired with talk therapy in residential and group programs.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
Couples/family therapy
Family Therapy. Brings the people closest to the recovery into the room. Less about blame, more about updating the patterns that fed the cycle so the home becomes part of the recovery.
Dialectical behavior therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Pairs acceptance with change. Especially useful when emotions feel too big to ride out without acting on them.
Integrated mental and substance use disorder treatment
Integrated Treatment. Treats addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions in the same plan, rather than sequentially. Most clinically effective when both are present.
Individual psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy. One-to-one sessions with a licensed clinician. The standard-bearer of mental-health care; most evidence-based plans build around it.
Telemedicine/telehealth therapy
Telehealth Therapy. Real clinical sessions delivered over video. Same evidence base as in-person care for most conditions; meets you where you actually are instead of where the office is.
