Clinical Director, Todd Payton LMHC.
After many years experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I've focused on addiction and dual diagnosis therapy. Specifically trauma as it relates to addiction and other mental health disorders. Helping patients work through past trauma and high stress situations is vital. Assisting in setting long term goals and objectives to live a happy and successful life. I don't want anyone being held back from the past, its key to live in the present, and learn how to live with what's going on around us.
