My name is Paul Wolanin. I am a licensed addiction and mental health counselor here in Michigan. In addition to seeing clients, I teach in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate program at Beal University and manage a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. I am now accepting new clients in my private practice. To book an appointment with me, please click here:
In 2005 I began my career working for a counseling agency in Kalamazoo, providing services to clients recently paroled from prison. I transitioned to a ten year stint working as a counselor in residential drug and alcohol treatment, then worked for one of the largest human services agencies in Michigan, designing, implementing, and overseeing substance use disorder programming across the entire state. I have acted as a subject matter expert on addiction treatment for The Department of Health and Human Services, colleges and universities, and various law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities. I have trained, consulted, and advised everyone from judges, probation officers, college professors, CPS and foster care workers and everyone in between. I have lectured to groups of parents seeking answers about their children’s drug use and to hundreds of professionals in an auditorium. Regardless of my audience, my message is the same:
We can all be better versions of ourselves, but we first need to overcome the barriers that keep us from realizing our full potentials.
Take a look around, and thanks for stopping by.
