Wellness Solutions Counseling Services Pam LeGall LPC LCADC

Wellness Solutions Counseling Services offers an outpatient program in Ramsey, Bergen County, built around the understanding that recovery extends well beyond an initial treatment episode. The clinic treats substance recovery and relapse prevention as ongoing, community-supported processes — not endpoints. For people who have completed a higher level of care and are transitioning back to daily life, or for those entering treatment who can manage their recovery while living at home, this outpatient program provides structured, regular care without requiring residential placement.

The program is available both in-person at the Ramsey office and through virtual sessions throughout New Jersey, removing a significant barrier for people across the state who need consistent outpatient support. Toxicology screening and placement assistance are available within the program, supporting both accountability and continuity of care as clients move through different stages of their recovery.

A defining feature of Wellness Solutions' outpatient program is its explicit focus on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis — treating mental health conditions alongside substance recovery rather than in separate silos. The clinic addresses anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and social phobia as part of the same care relationship that supports a client's recovery work. This integrated approach reflects the reality that most people in long-term recovery are managing more than one challenge at once.

Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR for trauma processing, and mindfulness practices — tools with particular relevance for clients whose substance use is entangled with unresolved trauma, grief, or chronic stress. The clinic also treats medical trauma, chronic illness, and autoimmune disorders, recognizing that physical health challenges are often part of the full picture for people in recovery.

Wellness Solutions builds aftercare directly into its outpatient program rather than treating it as a separate phase. The clinic runs an Addiction Recovery Group and Relapse Prevention programming, giving clients a peer community within the treatment setting itself. A Grief Support Group and Caregiver Support Group extend that community to the family members and loved ones who are frequently partners in a client's long-term recovery — an acknowledgment that sustainable recovery involves the people around a client, not just the client alone.

Prevention Education rounds out the aftercare offerings, supporting clients in developing the skills and awareness needed to maintain sobriety through life's transitions. For the recovery-community audience that prioritizes ongoing connection over single episodes of treatment, this structure of embedded group support and family-facing programming is a meaningful differentiator from outpatient clinics that focus narrowly on individual sessions.

Recovery rarely happens in isolation, and Wellness Solutions' program reflects that with dedicated couples therapy, marriage therapy, and family therapy services. The clinic uses Gottman Couples Therapy — a research-grounded method for addressing conflict, communication breakdown, and trust — making it a resource not just for individuals in recovery but for the relationships that recovery puts under strain. Family dynamics and couples conflict are listed among the conditions the clinic explicitly treats, connecting the personal work of recovery to the relational context in which it unfolds.

The clinic also works with blended families, divorce, and DWI recovery cases, serving the complex family situations that often accompany longer-term substance use. For families looking for a recovery center that treats the whole household rather than a single identified patient, Wellness Solutions offers a range of entry points — individual, couple, and family — within a single outpatient program.
