Jared Ferguson, CSW’s Summary
I have experience working with substance abusers and mentally ill individuals and have a strong interest in continuing this line of work. I have focused on the areas of substance abuse and criminal justice in my education.
Long term, I see myself as an administrator of an alcohol and drug program, but am looking to get a great a deal of experience in treating such individuals before pursuing other career goals.
Jared Ferguson, CSW’s Specialties:
I am a self-starter and have demonstrated my capability to work with very little supervision and as part of a multidisciplinary team. I have strong professional and interpersonal boundaries and have consistently demonstrated a high level of skill when engaging clients in the therapeutic process and work to ensure every client contact is therapeutic. I have worked with dually diagnosed clients as well as clients who suffer form eating disorders and personality disorders.
