Hi, I’m Don. I have been a counselor for nearly 30 years. If you have been feeling stressed out, having difficulty coping, concerned about your drinking or substance use, or worried about your relationships, I can help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and other Drug abuse Counselor in Chicago. I believe in the importance of listening closely to those I help and helping them find and define their values (whats important to them). I know that recovery from anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma is possible and within the people I help. I continue to study the science of recovery to ensure that the methods I use are proven to make a difference.
If you feel that your emotions are running your life and you are not in control, let me teach you techniques that will put you in control. If your drinking and drug use has created chaos in your life, you can not only stop, but you can have a healthier, more meaningful life. It is possible.
Counseling has been my life’s work. I believe in the transformative power of therapy. Finding the right counselor can be the key to making real change in your life and in turn, the lives of those around you.
