James Gonnella

My name is James Gonnella and I come into this field with personal experience and passion. I have worked in the field of Substance Use Disorder, trauma, and Mental Health for the past 19 years. I currently teach at a local college, am working with a psychiatrist to develop programming, and am the president of a nonprofit board that manages recovery housing. I bring experience, educational knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping people find a productive and happy life for themselves.

My approach is centered on the client's motivation, using expertise to help promote change and find real solutions for people looking to find their best lives.

In our sessions goals will be developed collaboratively allowing each person to be connected to the changes they want to make. We will develop strategies, skills, and activities that will be practiced between sessions to help enhance the chances for successful outcomes.
