Addictions | Altamonte Springs, FL

I have a love for helping addicts and alcoholics.  It is my "calling" in life.  I have been doing this since 1960.  I love when when clients are ready to get sober and/or clean because then I can help.  I have personal experience with recovery since 1986 and have a Ph.D. in mental health counseling from the University of Florida (1994).  My dissertation was on relapse prevention with alcoholics/addicts. 

My beliefs are simple.  I work with those who will begin to see that they are up against a force so powerful that a spiritual path is needed.  I am not very religious.  I am very spiritual.  I believe that recovery stems from a spiritual conversion, whether one with God or a conversion with allegiance to nature or some entity that is powerful and that you can look to for guidance, inspiration, hope and strength.  As above, this entity can be a Creative Intelligence or Mother Nature or whatever your conception of God is.  No one can tell you what to believe but the point is that we could not do this on our own. 

If you can live with this idea, we can work together.  I require that we establish mutual goals and meet weekly whether in person or on the internet or phone. 

Love and Peace,
Doc Pete, the imperfect therapist
