Randall R Godwin M.ED., LISAC
Counselor/Therapist
20 E Thomas Rd 2200 Phoenix az, 85012About
I have made my home and established a private practice in the White Mountains of Arizona. Through my work, I am committed to helping people overcome addictions to alcohol and drugs, depression, anxiety, and other stresses that affect all of us at some time in our lives.
I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation.
As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.
My credentials include the following:
CERTIFICATIONS
• Master Addictions Counselor (MAC)
• Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor (LISAC)
• Certified Domestic Violence Facilitator (CDVF)
• Certified Anger Management Facilitator (CAMF)
• Crisis Prevention & Intervention Instructor (CPI)
DEGREES
• Master of Education, Counseling & Human Relations (M.Ed.), Northern Arizona University
• Bachelor of Arts, Sociology (BA), University of Wisconsin
EXPERIENCE
I have over 25 years of experience as a mental health counselor. Before starting my own practice, I was a psychotherapist and counselor for many years. I have a wealth of experience working with diverse populations. I have a great deal of leadership and supervision experience. I am also credentialed as a Clinical Supervisor in the state of Arizona.
I have a wealth of volunteer experience working with the elderly, high risk populations, and supervision. I am currently working with the Council on Accreditation as peer reviewer and a Commissioner for the accreditation commission. In addition, I am a board member for the White Mountain SafeHouse, a domestic violence shelter in the community.
I have vast experience counseling clients with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. My background enables me to be an extremely effective addictions counselor who is comfortable counseling diverse groups of people.
I look forward to guiding you on your journey.
