Ambiance Counseling Services

Ambiance Counseling Services, approved by the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) as a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program, offers comprehensive DUI treatment for court-appointed clients. If you’ve received a DUI in Summit County, we provide affordable and effective DUI groups, including DUI Level II Education and DUI Level II Therapy.

Our DUI Groups utilize The Change Companies' Impaired Driver Education/Therapy Program (IDEP), an evidence-based, OBH-approved program tailored for Colorado. IDEP integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Stages of Change Model to foster positive change. This interactive program helps clients explore risks, needs, and skill deficits, while also identifying strengths, resources, and solutions to problematic behaviors. By addressing substance misuse and promoting public safety, IDEP effectively reduces recidivism and substance use, even among repeat offenders. IDEP applies leading behavioral-change research in a way that is accessible, meaningful, and motivational.

Located in Dillon, Colorado, Ambiance Counseling Services also offers Adult DUI Classes, Interlock Enhancement Counseling, and Individual Therapy. Our services are personalized to meet the unique needs and desires of each client.

Sarah has worked in various capacities, including in a detox unit, as a case manager, and as a substance use group facilitator.

Sarah is passionate about supporting clients at different stages of change, whether their goals involve harm reduction or abstinence. She believes in building a strong therapeutic alliance between the client and counselor as the foundation of effective therapy.

Ambiance Counseling employs various evidence-based treatment modalities to cater to individual needs. Motivational Interviewing is used to resolve ambivalence and support clients through the stages of change. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes current and future goals, helping clients navigate from their present state to where they want to be. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) assists clients in examining and improving their thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) focuses on mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

At Ambiance Counseling Services, we are dedicated to providing personalized, evidence-based treatment to support each client’s journey towards recovery and a healthier life.
