| Practice Description: |
A Common Language Counseling offers over twenty-five years of counseling experience with recovering & substance-abusing clients, their partners, children and families. You will find that working with a counselor who has many years of experience in counseling recovering people & their families makes a difference. I offer counseling to people already in recovery and non-judgmental help for substance abuse if you are questioning whether alcohol/drugs are a problem for you. I also offer therapy for adults who have experienced the chaos and trauma of growing up amid alcohol/drug addiction. Most people come to counseling because they want their lives to get better, and I can help.
