Viorica Lazin

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Board Certified since 2014, Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor since 2016, Development plan for Certified clinical Counselor & Certified Preventions Specialist since 2021. I am a Ph.D. doctoral candidate in Counseling and Advanced Human Behaviors at Capella University and Ph.D. Student at Walden University CES. I work as a clinical therapist supervisor at Quality Behavioral Health MAT Sterling Heights, MI, as a leading clinical community therapist at Tri-County Counseling LLC Madison Heights, MI, and as a Flex-Path Tutor at Capella University. My area of expertise is traumas, addictions, and co-occurring diseases. I believe that trauma in its complex multi-dynamic and multi-vectorial interactions at the micro and macro levels impacts each unique neuronal-hormonal cascade at the levels of central and peripheral nervous system reverberating bio-genetic echoes in generations to come. I found out working in the community mental health clinic and hospitals that trauma and addictions are pervasive intertwined issues- that is why firmly believe that trauma in its many shades and intensifies much be must training for any mental health provider and more so for the counselor, that is why I decided to chair the International Addiction Conference in Barcelona 2019, and published articles regarding early trauma, trauma, and addictions, etc, to raise awareness, to educate, to empower, to advocate, to treat and assuage sufferings as healthy individuals create healthy families, and healthy families create healthy communities, healthy communities create a healthy better world.
