Chardonnay Badchkam Licensed Mental Health Counselor
βThe most meaningful thing that you can do for someone, is to genuinely listen.β
I am passionate about helping those of you who are managing long-term recovery from substance/alcohol dependance. For all who seek counseling, my goal is to help you to be in the driver's seat to your emotions, guiding you towards your true potential, and helping you build true connections with healthy fulfilling relationships.
I have been in your shoes before, as I noticed I was struggling to manage my emotions and I felt very lost. Therapy helped me be the person that I am today, and I want to pass on the gift that was given to me from my therapist, to you.
I want to help you to understand the importance of working with your feelings to help guide you to where you're supposed to go.
I want you to know that it is okay to feel angry, sad, depressed, embarrassed, unintelligent, needy, and every other emotion; because, when you acknowledge and have control of these emotions, they can guide you to discovering who you are and your path in life. Be bold in the discovery of yourself and the results will be greater than you imagined.
