LeRoy Stanford

A well-respected mental health and addictions professional with a strong background working in high-pressure addiction populations. Over 20+ years of clinical experience working with co-occurring and substance use disorders. Whether legally mandated, or court ordered, I work closely with EAP, DOT and DCPP populations and referral sources. Experience working with Medically Assisted Therapy populations offering group and individual counseling services. Experienced in developing highly effective educational programs for co-occurring, as well as substance use disorder populations (Adult and adolescents). Excellent relationship building skills with both clients and families. Possess excellent communication skills.

My approach to therapy is based off of Motivational Interviewing, with regards to supporting and encouraging change talk and application of the individuals I work with. Empowerment and accountability are key features with my approach to change for each and every person I serve and work with. I also believe in self actualization for the individual and understanding and believing in the potential to grow and find an improved quality of life for every person I encounter.

I expect clients or individuals who work with me to leave the experience in a better place physically, emotionally and spiritually than when they enter each session. When therapy is complete, I expect the individual to say that they have reached their goals for therapy.
