Addiction Counselor
Susanna Huffman, MS, LPC, LCDC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
In 75252 - Nearby to Balch Springs.
As a therapist who has worked with both teens and adults with substance use disorders and addiction for years, I can say I truly enjoy being a part of the healing that takes place in recovery. Addiction is still one of the most stigmatized mental health issues, and still somehow seen as a personal flaw more so than a brain process. Healing from addiction requires someone that has the experience to know when to empathize, and when to challenge and it takes a therapist with a ton of patience and compassion to be comfortable reaching into the darkest parts. Addiction is not your fault, but recovery becomes your responsibility and it helps to have an ally willing to go there with you.
