Shocking some of their staff talk about some clients out of the office especially nick
Great friendly supportive people.
Great people at ELCA. You will not regret a visit; they will help you in a way that is best suited to you. You, after all, are the person with the power. You may want to pay a visit for what you think is quite a trivial issue, but if alcohol is affecting the way you do certain things, I'm sure the staff won't treat you with any less respect than they showed me (and I can feel quite self-conscious/lachrymose speaking about very personal issues - the staff at ELCA are like diamonds; they are wonderful). I had about eight sessions and got myself sorted out and after three months, I popped in just to say hi and thanks and tell them that I was still feeling good. I'm going to pop in and visit again next week to say the same thing.
