Is it time for a change?

Hi! I'm Laurie Dwyer MC, LPC. As a professional counselor for over 20 years, I've helped many people put their lives back together after their substance use finally dragged them to "rock bottom". So many of these broken people told me that they didn't see the signs that they were losing control, until it was too late. I created these 10 sessions to help people take a thoughtful look at their substance using behavior in order to determine if it's time for change BEFORE substance use destroys their life.
