Do you feel taken advantage of and like no matter what you do, you can't win? Are you a victim of emotional, verbal or physical abuse? Do you love someone who is caught up in the pain of addiction or mental illness? Have you tried everything you can think of but have no idea how to help or what else to do? Are you afraid your partner, spouse, adult child or other loved one will end up in jail, or worse? I get it. Maybe you're just mad. Maybe you're tired of having to handle everything yourself. I get that too.

Jeff Duckworth

Jeff Duckworth

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), which means I sit at the intersection of two things that almost always show up together: trauma and substance use. Most of my clients are dealing with one, the other, or both, and they're usually exhausted from trying to manage it alone or from therapy that didn't take their substance use seriously. I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to collaborate with you, meet you exactly where you are, and help you move forward with intention. That might mean we're untangling something from your past that still runs your present, or it might mean looking honestly at a relationship with alcohol or drugs that's stopped working for you. Either way, my priority is building a space where you feel safe, understood, and capable of actually changing your life, not just talking about changing it.
