MEET THE THERAPIST

Ziyad Elassal,

MA, RMHCI

As someone who has personally experienced the challenges and consequences of addiction, I understand the turmoil you may be going through. In fact, I almost lost my life in my own battle with addiction. But with the help of an amazing counselor, I was able to break free from the chains of addiction and embark on a journey of recovery.

Having walked the path of recovery myself, I am deeply committed to helping others find hope and healing. I became a counselor because I wanted to inspire others through my own recovery story, showing them that a better life, free from the grips of addiction, is possible. One thing I learned during my own recovery journey is the importance of finding a therapist who truly understands what you’re going through. That’s why I make it a point to share my lived experience as a recovering addict. I know firsthand the power of a genuine connection, especially for those who find it difficult to open up and trust others. As the saying goes, “The therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel.”

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction and in need of help, I encourage you to reach out today. My approach combines non-traditional methods with traditional therapeutic techniques, resulting in effective and efficient results. Making that call could be the first step towards saving your life. Remember, there is hope, and together we can break free from the chains of addiction!
