Kayla D

I am a dedicated and compassionate Entry-Level Drug and Alcohol Counselor with a strong commitment to supporting individuals on their recovery journey. My experience as a Clinical Intern at OhioGuidestone has equipped me with essential counseling techniques and a genuine passion for helping others achieve sobriety and improve their quality of life.

During my internship, I assisted in conducting individual counseling sessions for clients struggling with substance use disorders and mental health issues. I developed and implemented personalized recovery plans tailored to each individual's specific needs, focusing on goals, progress assessments, and relapse prevention strategies. My collaborative approach with other professionals ensures that clients receive comprehensive support throughout their recovery process.

As an honor roll student at Cuyahoga Community College, I pursued an Associate's Degree in Human Services with a focus on Chemical Dependency. My academic journey has provided me with a deep understanding of addiction, recovery, and the factors influencing substance use disorders, further enhancing my ability to support clients effectively.
