Natalie Wingard, Licensed Professional Counselor
Has something started out as a one time thing or a hobby that slowly hijacked your life? Do you become irritable or angry when you can’t have it? Has it replaced other activities you previously enjoyed? Has it caused you problems at home, school, or work? Do you continue on, despite the problems it causes? Have you immersed yourself more just to feel better temporarily?
Whether you’re dealing with drug addiction or gaming addiction, I understand how it is to struggle to create and/or maintain relationships. I understand the difficulty in transitioning back to RL (real life). I can help you learn to set boundaries and understand what it is you are trying to escape from. With over four years experience working with drug addiction and having used D&D, MMO’s and other video games to cope with real life, I can help you figure out what is keeping you from leveling up.
No matter what addiction “Final Boss” you are struggling to defeat, it takes a community to help achieve Victory! My party invite is open to you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Even if you are not battling addiction, I also work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
