Hi. I am trying to find a resource for a family member who needs counseling services as soon as possible. I am looking for a faith based outpatient counseling service. He is struggling with abandonment issues, anger and anxiety issues, along with excessive alcohol use to “numb” the reality of it all. Would you have any availability or help us find out where he can get help?
Good Afternoon,
I am curious if you are interested in hiring a full or part time counselor. I am an LCSW, and looking to join a practice part time or full time. I am happy to send an email with my resume if you have openings.
Thank you,
Briana Stonelake, LCSW
