Kenneth Wiggins, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kenneth!

Ken Wiggins, LCSW, CADC III. Specialties: Substance Use Disorder, Dual Diagnosis, and Sustainable Recovery. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (Level III) dedicated to helping adults achieve and maintain a life of sobriety and genuine well-being.

My focus

My goal is to help you move beyond merely stopping use and into developing and maintaining a sustainable lifestyle of positive mental health, abstinence, and recovery.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is strength-based and empowerment, focusing on the resilience you already possess. I see myself as a collaborator, helping you identify and leverage your personal strengths to sustain recovery and build a fulfilling life.

My communication style

I will use a blend of empathetic listening (from MI) and clear, directive guidance (from CBT and Relapse Prevention), all framed within a positive, empowering focus on your recovery.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in recovery began over 25 years ago, and I have come to realize that recovery is possible and, more importantly, that there are many ways to achieve it. My hope is to share my experiences, explore, and help you find, develop, and maintain a lifestyle of recovery.

My goals for you

Primary Overarching Goal: To assist you with developing a sustainable lifestyle of recovery and positive mental health.

Our first session

Our first session will be light and open to answer any questions and discuss any concerns; my focus will be to understand your needs and what you hope to gain from the therapy process.
