Ronny DeCarlo has been working in Colorado for the last five years bringing high quality, community based recovery suport services to individuals and families.
Q. Why did you go into this field?
A. Well thats actually a long story. I first went to therapy in a setting that was for families, so they can learn to process and cope with a family member that is mentally ill. Little did I know that it would help me immensely and lead me to go to grad school. After I graduated a moved to LA, where I applied for a position with an organization that goes into individuals and families home to help continue to met their needs and support them in their own environment, which is what I felt was the missing piece when a family member of mine was needing treatment.
Q. Who do you serve?
A. I serve women and men in the community that struggle with eating disorders and substance abuse, by actively guiding them to fulfill their treatment goals. For example, the client and I would go to the grocery store and complete their shopping list in a health and effective way.
Q. Where are you headed, what are you working on?
A. I would love to expand my practice to near by cities in Colorado such as Fort Collins and Colorado Springs, and have therapist that work in those areas, actually live in that community rather than commuting from Denver.
Q. If every client was reading this right now, what would you want them to know?
A. That recovery is possible, if you have the support, tools, and motivation that you can be in recovery.
