To ensure that Professional Counseling Associates clients’ rights are protected, all clients are permitted to participate in the Client Advocacy Program. The rationale behind the Client Advocacy Program is to uphold the organization’s mission of providing quality care to all individuals while also satisfying regulatory requirements by DHS and CARF.

It is the right of every client or family member of a client to fill out a Client Feedback Form if they desire to provide us with feedback. These forms are available at every location. A client may fill out the form themselves or they may request assistance. Once a form is received, it is then remitted to the Client Advocate immediately for review.

The PCA Client Advocate is Erin Willcutt
VP of Clinical Services for the Central Region
