Kyle Dudley - Primary Therapist
I have worked in the field of mental health and addictions since 2000, and most within addictions. This spans 13 years, and partly because I served 14 in the US Army Reserves this interrupted my work for a time. I have recently completed a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and currently seeking full licensure in both Professional Counseling and Psychology. My passion is working with others that often are working through their own journey in treatment. This is particularly because I am a person in long term recovery and because I want to assist others to find their own success in recovery.
Something you don't know about me?
I am a work alcoholic at times, however I am making time to enjoy myself through family, gaming, and slot car racing. |
