Private Sessions
Available
Family
Education Coaching Sessions with Mike are available for
family members trying to deal with the problems of a loved-one
struggling with addiction. Because of the complexity
and confusing nature of addiction, a caring family can
easily over-help, or
under-help a
loved one caught in the grip of alcohol or drugs. Unfortunately,
this can
actually help keep your loved-one stuck
in a self-defeating cycle. Mike offers both,
in-person, and telephone sessions to help families find the
best possible choice for every problem their loved-one is
facing.
When the
family finally gets the special knowledge required to
help the addicted person recover, all of a sudden, the best
course of action needed to help their loved one,
becomes clear. Now, decisions can be agreed upon and
there's realistic hope for an "end to the nightmare". Contact Mike for more information about
Family Coaching Sessions.
Telephone Sessions
Telephone
sessions with Mike for local and out-of-state family
members are also
available. Over the years, Mike has
remained in contact with many successful recovering clients.
His on-going relationship with them has helped provide priceless
knowledge about what really makes recovery
work. It's difficult to pose an addiction or recovery problem
that Mike has not dealt with. Yet, he's quick to add, "I
don't have all the answers,
but I do have some great clues." Take
advantage of Mike's knowledge and experience by requesting a
no-obligation phone consultation.
