Michael O'Brien, CADC II, NCAC I
Private Addiction Counselor in California and Oregon.
Substance Abuse Coaching Nationwide and Internationally.
Welcome
Thank you for visiting my website, and congratulations on taking this first step toward meaningful change. I understand how challenging it can be to get here. For the past 18 years, I’ve been helping individuals reclaim their lives from substance abuse.
If traditional “rehab” programs, AA meetings, or lifelong group sessions don’t feel like the right fit for you, that’s perfectly okay. While those can be excellent options, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to overcoming substance use issues. Instead, I take the time to assess each client’s unique circumstances and uncover the underlying factors driving their substance use. From there, we develop a customized, evidence-based recovery plan that excites you and sparks genuine motivation.
We’ll work together for months, not years, and you’ll benefit from my extensive expertise in what truly works for your unique situation. All sessions are conducted virtually—via phone or video—so you can participate from the comfort and privacy of your home or office. I look forward to guiding you on a path to sustained, positive change.
