Recovery Support Clinician
CurrentI am Certified Drug and Alcohol Recovery Counselor supporting higher-risk clients by developing therapeutic bonds in sobriety. I work closely with Mountainside's detox, Residential, and Alumni departments to provide recovery services to those in need. I implement cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing techniques into 1 on 1 sessions replacing self-limiting beliefs with constructive thought patterns for use during the individual's treatment stay as well as their aftercare. I also lead group sessions focused on reading meditations, Understanding Risk, Healthy Lifestyles, and 12 step work.
