What a Saturday! 🎉

On the 21st, our Internship Program Director and LPC-S Eunice Contreras, our wonderful clinical intern Andrea Molina, and IA's CEO Donny were proud to represent Innovative Alternatives at the KSBJ's Biggest Baby Shower Expo held at Woodlands Church East River Campus.

We had the opportunity to connect with hundreds of attendees, sharing about the heart behind our mission. From trauma and grief counseling to specialized support for crime victims, we were honored to talk about how Innovative Alternatives integrates clinical excellence with compassion and faith. For those who desire it, we thoughtfully incorporate faith into the counseling process, meeting people where they are and walking alongside them with hope and truth.

There is something powerful about being in a space filled with growing families, new beginnings, and community partners who care deeply about strengthening homes. The conversations were meaningful, encouraging, and a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.

A huge thank you to KSBJ for allowing us to participate. We are honored to serve as the official prayer line counseling partner for KSBJ and grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside them in supporting our community.

Houston, we love showing up for you. 💙

They say AI is coming for our jobs, but apparently, it just wants to make us look like Pixar characters.

We asked ChatGPT to make a caricature for our CEO and his 'agency life' and this is what it gave us. Post your own in the comments!

Bring up and ask it to make you a caricature based on what it knows about you. It will use history, Google and other sources to make your image. You can upload a photo for genuineness. Let's see those pictures!
