ABOUT US
I am a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the State of Texas. I have personal experience with alcohol and drug addiction and am devoted to helping others achieve a solid, lasting recovery from the disease of addiction through proper guidance and support. I understand not only the clinical side of addiction, but have first-hand experience with the personal struggles of recovery. In this regard, my experience stands out in the field of substance abuse counseling.
My name is Ryan, and I’m an addict that has chosen a life of sobriety. Part of this choice has also been to take a position of helping others that have also made the decision that substances, legal or not, are limiting their life’s potential. I’ve worked in Emergency Services, Financial Services, Private Equity & Venture Capital, and I am a Texas licensed Special Education Teacher. Unfortunately, my path to sobriety has involved embarrassing legal issues and lots of heartache….not just a simple, “I’m tired of wasting money and having headaches.” I also deal with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I know this sounds like a lot, and it certainly feels it on my end, but it truly gives me a very front line perspective of the complications that someone dealing with mental/emotional disorders and addiction will face on their journey. It’s a hard journey, making the decision to be sober, but then again, the most fulfilling journeys you will take in your life aren’t easy. If you’re taking this first step then get ready for the most exciting journey you will ever take!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you looking for treatment options that allow for the strictest standards in confidentiality?
Along with scheduled counseling sessions via telephone or Skype, Alcohol and Addiction Support gives you the ability to reach me, at any time, via phone, text message, or email. This option provides for one-on-one support outside of a group setting, where your confidentiality or anonymity may be compromised.
Do you want help but refuse it because you need to maintain employment?
In today’s struggling economy, many of our clients do not have the luxury of taking time off from work to address their substance abuse issues. Alcohol and Addiction Support makes it possible to get the help you need without losing financial security. I offer therapy solutions that will fit into your busy schedule without constricting you to a formal schedule.
Do you have a history of relapse once you transition from treatment?
Most people are able to stay clean and sober while they are in treatment. Their struggles usually begin when they are discharged and go back to everyday living. Alcohol and Addiction Support is ideal for those who have completed residential or outpatient treatment. Our program offers continued support on an as-needed basis until you are able to maintain your recovery using your own resources.
Have you failed to maintain your recovery due to overwhelming cravings, triggers, or everyday life stresses?
People with a history of addiction often find themselves stuck in a never-ending, vicious cycle. Alcohol and Addiction Support can help you break that cycle. You don’t have to wait for a scheduled session or meeting to seek help. I am available around the clock to assist you with your everyday life struggles that so many face in early recovery that inevitably lead to relapse.
Were you motivated to stay clean while in treatment, only to lose it shortly thereafter?
Recovery is a life-long process. After a few days or weeks without the use of alcohol or drugs, some people often begin to experience a euphoric feeling as if they are “cured”. This false belief often ends in an attempt at “controlled” drinking or using. Staying connected with your counselor and following your treatment plan will help challenge those false beliefs, and address issues which tend to lead you back to your addiction.
Have you tried 12-step meetings and found that they are not enough?
Some people find that early recovery requires more than a 12-step program alone. Alcohol and Addiction Support offers one-on-one confidential therapy with licensed professionals that is an invaluable supplement to your 12-step program. Our counselors work together with the client to create individual treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Some people find that early recovery requires more than a 12-step program alone.

Jenn’s on CBS!!!!
Jenn gets in front of the camera to discuss current trends in substance use amongst the adolescent and young adult populations in today’s culture. Unfortunately, it’s way beyond a keg party with a side of pot these days. She describes signs to look out for if you believe your child COULD be using substances. To any young adults looking at this site, whose roommates happen to be your parents, we aren’t advocating for your parents/guardians to rummage through your possessions because we’re just “old fun-suckers”. We’re advocating for your parents to take those actions because WE HAVE BOTH DEALT WITH ADDICTION, and we legitimately want future generations to grow up safe and happy; no cap. Guess what, it typically starts when you’re…….a young adult and your roommates are also your parents.
Jen goes on the air with our North Texas CBS affiliate to discuss recent substance trends currently seen amongst the youth in the region.
