The Advocate House is pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen A. Thompson (Andy) who we have known since 1999 has come to work for Advocate House as a counselor. Andy has a Master’s Degree in Independent Clinical Social Work, Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and an Associate’s Degree in Behavioral Sciences.

Andy has worked at The Counseling Center, Ironton Medical, Family Guidance Center, and Prestera as a counselor. He taught classes on Counseling at Ohio University, Child Psychology at Shawnee State University, Social Work at Moorehead State University, and Psychology at the University of Charleston. Andy has always been an outstanding teacher in the recovery community, both as a professional and as an individual. He is very well liked and respected.

Most of the residents coming into Advocate House, due to their personal circumstances require counseling. They were raised by alcoholic and/or drug addicted parents, in dysfunctional homes, or were traumatized in other ways and we wanted to add counseling to our program to assist our residents in getting healthy and maintaining their sobriety. We are very excited about Andy coming on board with the Advocate House. With our structure and Andy’s professional skills and personal experiences he will be a great asset to the Advocate House and our residents.
