Ricardo Bowden, MA, CPC: Ricardo specializes in providing guidance and coaching for individuals actively seeking recovery from substance abuse. He has delivered relapse prevention programming professionally for 11 years. As a recovering person himself, he is insightful about the many roadblocks and challenges that may stand in the way of being successful, and helps clients find their own solutions to overcome those hurdles. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says "no matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience benefits others". The spirit of that recovery promise motivates Ricardo to be of service to others and pass on to others what has been graciously passed on to him.
