Dara Fucci, LCSW, LCADC

I'm a licensed Substance Abuse Counselor and Social Worker, and I have been in the field for more than 10 years. I mostly work from a client-centered perspective, which means that my clients can expect empathy, compassion, and honesty throughout their whole therapeutic experience. By giving clients the tools to get through distressing or challenging times, I find that they often eventually find the motivation to live their healthiest lives. I tend to use cognitive behavioral therapy as my primary treatment modality, although I truly believe that the best treatment approach is an adaptable one, so I also apply elements of mindfulness, as well as psychodynamic, relational, and humanistic therapies to suit my clients' particular goals. I work mostly with adults to treat concerns like addiction, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive, peer relationships, relationship issues, school issues, self-esteem problems, sleep issues, stress, co-occurring issues, infidelity, gender issues, eating conditions, trauma, PTSD, and mood issues. I can help develop and manage coping skills, gain insight about emotional and relationship struggles, and build self-compassion and confidence to ensure a brighter future for an individual.

I am currently working independently as a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. I am currently building up my private practice, and I can't wait to see where the future takes me with my expertise and knowledge. I am a kind and passionate person who wants to help people who may struggle with helping themselves. I find that some people may need a little external motivation to start finding the motivation within themselves towards positive improvement and healthier changes.
