Is Advocate right for you?

Advocate is designed for:

  • Attorneys, courts, correctional facilities, and court-appointed programs that need behavioral expertise
  • Schools with discipline challenges, and organizations that work with people involved in the justice system
  • Individuals dealing with legal circumstances who need behavioral consultation and support

What we do

  • Consultation with legal and court systems
  • Behavioral assessments for legal cases
  • Staff training for correctional and legal settings
  • Guidance on behavior-based programs in institutions
  • Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) services in Kentucky (state approval pending)

What is a Batterer Intervention Program?

A Batterer Intervention Program (BIP) is a structured program for people who have used violence or abuse in relationships. Courts often require them. We have applied to provide this program in Kentucky and are waiting on state approval. We will update this page when that changes.

What it costs

Illuma is a private-pay practice, so we don't bill insurance. We share our fees during your first conversation, before you decide anything.
