About
Recovery Begins Here
Jay McGuire
We develop strategies early in life to ensure our safety. As adults, we often find these strategies are no longer effective and often harmful.
My name is Jay McGuire, and I am here to help. As a survivor of complex trauma and a family history of generational alcohol & substance abuse, I believe individuals can and do recover. My personal journey led me to pursue a career helping others to overcome the baggage of their past. I served first as a volunteer since 1991, and now as a professional advocate for recovery. I earned a master's degree in professional counseling and substance abuse from Carlow University and am now a licensed professional counselor and a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor with over 10 years' experience.
My experience includes community mental health work as a mobile therapist and a substance abuse specialist for the Allegheny County Community Treatment Team. I served as a forensic liaison for the Allegheny County Mental Health Court. I also worked for Western Psychiatric Hospital as a therapist in the Narcotics Addiction Treatment Program. I provided therapeutic treatment in an array of long-term and short-term psychiatric facilities before converting to private practice.
I can help you.
