Substance Abuse Counselor

Nova Counseling Services is a residential alcohol and drug addiction treatment center in Oshkosh WI. We believe effective and lasting treatment is marked by the essential elements of compassion, honesty and genuineness, and by the following of a 12-Step program. Treating addiction is a complex and demanding process – one that cannot be undergone without support from caring staff that is dedicated to helping our clients’ programs of recovery.

We also recognize that for our staff to provide the best care possible, they need to be cared for as well. Our clinicians have the flexibility and freedom to approach care creatively and with passion through process-driven treatment tasks. Whether you are new to the field and practicing to hone your skills, a seasoned professional looking for a change, or a clinical supervisor longing to return to daily hands-on care. Nova provides safety and support in your professional journey of becoming the therapist you want to be. We’re looking forward to meeting our newest team member!
