Our Instructors

Jim Jorgenson

I recently completed my 34th year in private practice spending many of those years working alone and on my own. Over the last 12 years however I have worked long and hard to be able to expand what we are doing to a broader community basis with a concentration on treating situations involving difficult and hard to treat issues. To that end, Taking Control, Inc. has partnered with Nick McDonald to provide the Intensive Outpatient Program that you see here to a variety of populations (Adult; Adolescent; Substance Abuse) and in a variety of formats to make it most easily accessible to the community. We seek to serve all age groups and all socio-economic levels and will never turn anyone away from our programs. We currently boast 15 full-time therapists, 15 part-time therapists, and 10 interns working with us. In addition to the intensive Outpatient Program we have recently begun implementing a medical clinic to provide a medical evaluation and management component for our clients. All this is in addition to the traditional individual, group, and family counseling that is provided. We are constantly interested in designing and implementing new and improved programmatic directions that can readily serve the community we live in and will continue to do so.
