What Rula patients say about addiction therapy
My therapist is kind and profound. I look forward to every appointment with him. I have learned so much in our sessions. He seems to be particularly great with PTSD, veterans and relatives, and addiction. He also uses the ACT principals which I have found to be life changing skills..
