Gerard Marcil is a dedicated drug and alcohol counselor who specializes in supporting individuals and families impacted by addiction and the resultant family dysfunction stemming from fear, anxiety, and co-dependent behaviors. He fosters a judgment-free, solution-oriented environment that encourages clients to seek help, recognizing that hope exists and no one is alone in their struggles. Understanding that true change requires action, Gerard provides individual, family, and group counseling, employing techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness practices, and 12-Step Facilitation. These approaches not only focus on the misuse of mind-altering substances but also delve into the underlying causes of addiction, paving the way for lifelong recovery and personal growth. Additionally, he offers Department of Transportation/Substance Abuse Professional (DOT/SAP) evaluations. Gerard views addiction as a disease rather than a failure of willpower, ensuring that all individuals and families who reach out for help receive support infused with dignity, respect, and empathy in a professional setting.
