Substance Abuse
Kelly Baez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Embarking on the journey towards sobriety is a courageous step, and you don't have to walk this path alone. As an experienced addiction counselor, I believe in providing compassionate support tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Whether you're transitioning from an inpatient program, seeking to address trauma alongside intensive outpatient work, or striving to maintain long-term sobriety, counseling can be a valuable tool in your recovery journey.
In our sessions, we'll focus not just on abstaining from substances, but on understanding the underlying issues driving your addiction. Together, we'll explore healthier coping mechanisms and develop practical strategies to navigate life's challenges without relying on substances for relief. My approach is rooted in the belief that addiction is not a moral failing, but a complex issue that requires empathy, understanding, and a commitment to change.
Let's work together to uncover your inner strength, cultivate resilience, and build a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and sobriety. Your journey to recovery starts here.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

17 Years Experience
Online in Columbus, GA Georgia
Columbus, Georgia is home to Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) — one of the US Army's largest installations and the home of the Army Infantry — creating a therapy community substantially shaped by the needs of soldiers, veterans, and military families dealing with combat trauma, moral injury, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of service life. The city's African American population comprises a majority of the civilian community, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity and intergenerational resilience alongside the predominantly military therapy demand are an important part of the local landscape. Martin Army Community Hospital serves the military population, while Piedmont Columbus Regional provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Columbus shares some of its therapy ecosystem with Phenix City, Alabama directly across the Chattahoochee River, giving the metro a bi-state character.
