My name is Doug Foresta, and I am a therapist, speaker and radio host who helps people get unstuck from compulsive and addictive behavior and find emotional healing. I am particularly interested in the healing power of imagination and story. I work with people struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, as well as people stuck in compulsive sexual behaviors, problem gambling, compulsive overeating, etc. My philosophy is based on the motto of narrative therapy, that "the problem is the problem, the person is not the problem. I work collaboratively with people to help them overcome their addictive and compulsive behaviors. The feedback I recieve from clients is that they appreciate being seen as creative and imaginative beings rather then as problems to be solved, and that they find this approach to be empowering and hopeful.
I work with people all over the world via telephone. You can visit my website at www.douglasforesta.com and visit my radio shows at www.empoweradio.com and www.blogtalkradio.com/creatingchange
