Best Addiction & Substance Abuse Counselors in Fargo, ND

Hello! My name is Lisa Warden and I am a licensed Social Worker. Prior to completing my college, I worked as a massage therapist. I am very aware of the mind-body connection and how we can use our body to heal our mind. I've worked most of my career with helping those in recovery from Trauma, addictions, and personality related issues. These symptoms often really hold a person captive and away from the fulfillment of potential and in a constant state of survival. It gets me very excited to see a client who has been through hell, begin to thrive and enjoy life in a way they may have not thought possible. It can be very challenging to reach out for help and schedule a session. I offer a warm and flexible style (and often include humor) and I actively work to meet each client where they are and offer the encouragement and the skills to assist getting clients to where they'd like to be. I look forward to working with you!

I am licensed in North Dakota with 14+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & other mental health disorders. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I am a mental health and substance use counselor with over 5 years of working as a crisis and psychotherapy counselor. Most of my experience has involved individuals with severe depression, suicidal ideation, and substance use issues. I also have experience with trauma, anxiety, and eating disorders. My counseling style is person-centered and motivational. I believe that those seeking help should be able to determine what is most important to them and that my job is to support, motivate, and guide individuals to achieve those goals. Ultimately, I want individuals to find their own motivation and support from within so they are capable of continuing success outside of counseling. You are entitled to your own individual journey and everyone needs to experience things their own way. We are going to get through this together, however that may look like. I am here to provide a safe place for you to talk about what you are going through, offer direction, and help you accomplish whatever you decide is most important to you. My approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral, incorporating humanistic, substance use, and interpersonal approaches. However, I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach, so therapy sessions will be tailored to individual needs. Reaching out for help is a huge step that takes so much courage and strength. The fact that you are searching for someone to talk to is just the beginning of your journey. I hope you find what you are looking for, and I hope to provide a safe and supportive space for you.
