... any recs would be helpful, the person is having serious health issues related to alcohol and the family tried an intervention that backfired...  thanks!!

Hey Maia!

Freedom Institute https://www.freedominstitute.org/ or CMC both in NYC. Those would be my first recommendations.  Oh and Barry Lessin is in Philly. Good luck to them all!
BTW I could possibly work with the family if they're interested in rebuilding trust?? That would be remotely of course.

Cheers!

So, this would be for DC, but both of those places do work online?  I'm wanting to see if I can get someone in person there, but
they might actually be more up for something online, let me find out...

Yes to remote for all if they can't leave DC. Perhaps someone else knows a HRT person in DC but I don't. I can check with our CAHRT group as well later today and Patt's part of that group. Gotta run...DD

Barry is great. I'm also here in Philly and I'm a PSYPACT provider. Washington, D.C. is a Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) state so all good for teletherapy.

I am in DC.  www.krisoseth.com

I also facilitated and enhanced the harm reduction program at Whitman Walker Health in DC, which is still running, where they have group and individual therapy on a continuum of care and across the using spectrum.

Let me know if you would like more information.  Happy to help.

Hi there,

I also have a colleague in Washington, DC who I worked with at Whitman Walker Health, and who just started their private practice.  They have current and immediate openings.  Here is their website:  https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/FNQyKbOLPJ9VA

Here is his contact information:
