Andrea Acierto, CDCA

  • Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant

Specialties:

Drug/Alcohol Treatment

Accepting new patients

As a dedicated chemical dependency counselor, I am committed to providing compassionate support and guidance to individuals struggling with substance abuse issues. With a deep understanding of the complexities of addiction, I work tirelessly to help my clients achieve lasting recovery and regain control of their lives.

I believe in taking a holistic approach to treatment, addressing not only the symptoms of addiction but also the underlying factors contributing to substance abuse. By empowering clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and non-judgmental environment, I help them develop insight into their addiction and identify healthier coping mechanisms. My goal is to instill hope, foster resilience, and support clients in building a fulfilling life free from the grips of addiction.

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I’m here to help. Together, we can work towards a brighter, substance-free future.
