Ashley Rooks, M.S., LASAC — Contributor
After working in retail management for five and a half years and losing friends to the disease of addiction, Ashley decided it was time for a career change. She went back to school and got her Master's in Psychology and a second Master's in Addictions Counseling. She is a licensed substance abuse counselor and has been working in the treatment industry at the inpatient level of care for five years. She has worked with adolescents and adults and currently works primarily with young adults.
