FAQs

Will I have to abstain from alcohol and/or substances to work with you?

 

Total abstinence is not always the goal of addressing substance abuse. It does require a conversation about ambivalence, relapse prevention, common triggers of relapse, and education of the consequences of substance use, abuse, and dependency.

 

What forms of payment do you accept?

Woody accepts self-pay clients only.   Forms of payment include:

 

  • Venmo (preferred choice of payment)
