Adding to his breadth of experience, Buddy has worked in residential programs, intensive outpatient settings, and private practice, in both managerial and therapeutic roles. This range of settings along the continuum of care has allowed Buddy to work with a myriad of clients from all walks of life.
His Inspiration:
I believe that laughter can help us get through the difficult times in our lives. When we laugh as a group, we realize that we are not alone with our feelings and our struggles. Even though we all have our unique stories; we are more alike than we are different. Let’s share our stories.
