Cindy Athey, Alcohol & Drug Counselor

My clients describe me as:

nonjudgmental, friendly and a good listener who clients report feel heard and understood.

Something to know about my approach is:

I understand that you may be feeling anxious and worried about working on issues in your life. I provide a quick solution focused approach to turning the situation around so that you can get back on track.

Together, we will:

work together and identify what is making the problems worse, create a strategic plan to address the problem and discuss how you can quickly put solutions in to place. I will work with you on identifying strategies to achieve the goals you create.

I specialize in working with people who:

are tired of living with issues with anger, anxiety, alcohol and drugs and unhealthy relationships. I help people learn healthy coping skills to put into place to start feeling better quickly.

I became a therapist because:

I don't like seeing others hurting. I've been there & get how dark those times can be so my purpose is to help others find freedom from alcohol/drugs

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer therapy in the office in beautiful Clearwater, FL or online by Zoom. I also offer text messaging services to client for free.

More about me and my practice:

I specialize in helping clients move away from negative, depressing mindsets to a life that is less stressful, calmer & peaceful. I know that recovery is different for everyone so I help clients find personalized strategies that will work for them.
