Addiction Counseling Services Orlando
Addiction Counseling Services Orlando and what does that entail? Many have the idea that therapy when dealing with addiction is sitting in a cold, sterile environment. This is far from true. I believe that in order for you to do the work necessary to truly understand yourself you need to have an environment conducive to feel comfortable, safe and secure.
Addiction has already left you feeling shameful, embarrassed and your self-esteem is low. You may have just gotten out of inpatient treatment and are seeking support such as life coaching or sobriety counseling. I make myself available for those in early recovery from drug addiction and alcohol abuse.
