(Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor) Individual & Family Counseling

BREAKING THE STIGMA of Addiction

T

he stigma of addiction doesn’t have to keep a person from seeking tre atment no matter t heir standing in the community, level of education or individual belief system. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Melinda Gay, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I am also qualified to treat the Non-Substance Disorder associated with gambling. My practice is called M & M Recovery Management, PLLC and I offer a variety of individualized treatment plans. My passion in life is to utilize my experience, formal education and hospital training to assist individuals and families that suffer from Substance Related Disorders. I am grateful and honored to play a part in counseling families and helping clients regain the trust of their loved ones. After conducting a full Chemical Dependency Assessment, we will work together to determine what type of treatment will be best suited for each client and their family. New clients have questions regarding the challenges they will face and what to expect in early recovery. I specifically educate clients on the causes, conditions and risks of Substance Us e D i s ord e r, a l on g w it h behavioral issues associated with this disorder.

In my practice I offer both individual counseling and group therapy. Group therapy is conducted once a week and clients are signing up now for spring and summer. The group is beneficial in overcoming isolation, addressing cravings, developing a relapse prevention plan, and maintaining accountability while managing lifestyle changes. My goal is to counsel clients on remaining sober, stopping the cycle of addiction within the family and working to prevent it in the generations to come. I believe the healing of one’s core issues is the key for long term recovery. To tell you a little about myself, I’m married and my husband Michael is a great support, along with my 2 adult sons, 3 dogs and 1 cat. With a recent move to the country we added 3 cows and chickens are next! I believe my client’s privacy is key to fostering a safe environment. I schedule sessions for individuals and family with this need for confidentiality in mind. If you or a loved one are suffering any consequences from addiction and have the desire to stop, please don’t hesitate to call and begin your life again. We take most insurances and would love to walk this journey with you.
