      • Apr 2015 - Aug 2020

      Provided patient care through evaluation, assessment, and intervention in treating co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. I worked with both individual patients and families in addressing the complex, multi-faceted issues around addiction. We utilized evidence-based practices to support and treat patients and their families while here, while simultaneously empowering them in making an effective and comprehensive continuing care plan for their transition to outpatient treatment. Assessed and evaluated patients on the chemical dependency unit by providing psychotherapeutic interventions on an individual and group basis. In working with a multidisciplinary team, we successfully provided comprehensive, team-based, and person-centered care that allowed patients to approach their treatment in an effective and multi-dimensional fashion.
