I was an anesthesiologist and pain doc for about 8 years,...
I'm a clinical social worker in private practice on Long Island. Married, two adult kids, one excessively happy pit bull. I started out as an alcoholism counselor, which means I know a lot about addictions. I trained as a Gestaltist, which means I pay lots of attention to feelings and what they're trying to tell us.
