Email Lorjon at lorjon@counselingplace.org or call 469-872-1211 to register for the course.

Remember, we must have at least 3 students enrolled to hold the course and no more than 18, so registration is required before you attend.

What else do I need to know?

Arrive a few minutes early! The Counseling Place is in an office suite inside the Richardson Medical Park building. The doors to the building lock in the evenings. If you are late to class, you will not be able to enter the building, and you will not be able to attend the class. We will not refund your money if you’re late or miss a class.

You can bring water but no other snacks or drinks.

If you miss a class, your case may be returned to the court, and you will be required to appear before a judge.

Who tells the court I’ve completed the course?

You do. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate. You’ll provide that to the court. If you lose your certificate, we charge $25 for the replacement.
