George Baltazar, MA, LADC

Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor & LPCC Trainee

 

Hi, I’m George! 

​

I am a compassionate mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate their emotional journeys. Believing that everyone deserves to be understood, I create a safe space where clients can explore difficult emotions without judgment.

 

I recognize that even when behaviors seem unhealthy, they are often natural responses to underlying barriers to mental health. With empathy and understanding, I help guide clients toward self-acceptance and healing, helping them transform emotional struggles into opportunities for growth.

I specialize in helping clients in active use or in recovery from alcohol and substance use disorders. I focus on bridging the gap between programs of recovery and improved mental health. With a compassionate, client-centered approach, I support individuals in overcoming challenges, building resilience, and fostering long-term wellness.

​

​Emotions, even when they feel overwhelming, are valuable signals that can inform the therapeutic process. I welcome you to contact me to begin to have meaningful conversations about what your needs are and how I may help you navigate your journey of healing.

Currently being supervised by Neko Vanevenhoven, MA, LMFT
