This month we’ve been discussing the spiritual piece of the recovery puzzle. For some, spirituality is an untapped resource. Once you learn about ways of accessing your own spiritual connection and make a conscious effort to do that, a whole new world is opened for you.

While therapy is primarily about emotional healing, at White Picket Fence Counseling Center it’s also important to us that we don’t shy away from addressing physical recovery.
