kinds of problems. If you have suicidal thoughts, it's important that you seek help
immediately. You are not alone. If you are located in
the US, call
1-800-784-2433 or 911 and
ask for help. If you are outside the US,

Experience & Qualifications
|
|
I have several years experience working in a mental health clinic/substance abuse treatment program, offering care to clients with mood difficulties (depression), diabetes and hepatitis C, addictions, and other conditions. I earned my Master of Social Work Degree at Portland State University and earned licensure in 2006. I am also a certified alcohol and drug counselor. Please note that because of my agency work, and for ethical reasons, I am not permitted to work with Veterans eligible for care through the VA.
I honor your privacy and confidentiality as directed by my professional code of ethics and by law. The exceptions to privacy and confidentiality are as follows: As a mandatory reporter, I may be required to report to appropriate authorities or otherwise take steps to ensure safety if you are at imminent risk to self harm, to harm others, or are at risk for harm and are a senior, minor, or considered a vulnerable (disabled) adult. In these cases my profession requires me to take steps to ensure safety, which may result in report to outside authorities for welfare checks or other safety intervention.
