Amina McClendon

Hi, my name is Amina McClendon. I’m not only a licensed counselor but am also a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor (CAADC). I’m committed to helping individuals learn how to co-pilot their journey to clean and sober living. My approach focuses on reducing or eliminating ineffective drug and alcohol-related behaviors, habits, and attitudes. I believe in working collaboratively to assist clients achieve their goals.
 

My passion started 25 years ago with a career in social work that spans from foster care to preventive services and working with individuals with addictions. I have developed a deep understanding and compassion for those in need. I think that healing is a collaborative process that involves honesty, nonjudgmental compassion, and teamwork. Rather than using a single methodology for all individuals and challenges, I combine a range of methods to create a personalized approach for each individual and situation. As a counselor, I am approachable, welcoming, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself a passionate counselor that combines experience, knowledge, creativity, and a sense of humor with a practical, realistic approach to counseling.
