A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
If possible I ALWAYS prefer to be able to meet in person. Sometimes you can lose some of the warmth meeting online, however, I’ve learned over the years that that’s simply not always possible for every person and so it can be really convenient to be able to meet remotely. I schedule sessions to last between forty-five minutes and an hour, typically.
