Substance Abuse Counselor
Clovis,CALIFORNIA

Summary

I am a passionate employee dedicated to improving lives of individuals struggling with addiction and other behavioral disorders. I am driven to care for and support recovering patients with guidance toward tangible improvements and relapse prevention. I believe in building positive relationships with clients to build trust. Trust helps implement sound treatment plans addressing unique patient needs and helps attain long-term behavioral goals. I would consider myself a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.

I have been working full-time as a knowledgeable Substance Use Disorder Counselor for the past1.5 years. During this time I accrued the 2,500 hours of counseling needed to become a certified SUD Counselor.I will soon upgrade from registered to certified counselor once everything is approved by CCAPP/CADTP.

I also have a solid background in Medicare/Medi-CAL health insurance sales which helps me to inform clients of the many benefits they may be missing out on like free medical transport and fresh food. I have a proven ability to build and maintain client relationships. Demonstrated success in identifying client needs and matching them with appropriate solutions. I consistently utilized effective communication and problem-solving skills to enhance client satisfaction.
