Life is full of unexpected events and change. The death of a loved one, a divorce, a shift in health… even a positive change such as adoption or graduating from college can leave us feeling disconnected, anxious, and vulnerable. These are times when we could all benefit from increased support, guidance, and encouragement. Sometimes we need a reminder that we each hold the tools within us to manage the overwhelming moments and that we have the power to reconnect to feelings of peace and joy.

When things happen, talking about the situation can yield new understanding about our behaviors and needs. Therapy can lead us to feel better able to navigate the waters of life.

My name is Ziyad Elassal. As someone who has personally experienced the challenges and consequences of addiction, I understand the turmoil you may be going through. In fact, I almost lost my life in my own battle with addiction. But with the help of an amazing counselor, I was able to break free from the chains of addiction and embark on a journey of recovery. Having walked the path of recovery myself, I am deeply committed to helping others find hope and healing. I became a counselor because I wanted to inspire others through my own recovery story, showing them that a better life, free from the grips of addiction, is possible.
