At Full Life, we won’t be judging you. We’ll be listening.
We help people make changes in hopes of avoiding addiction. We help those who need recovery get started and sustain it. If sustaining recovery turned out to be harder than they thought, we hang in there with hope, guidance, support and community.
Experts in recovery with a spirit of compassion
Substance use is a common part of our society, but for some, it develops into addiction—a challenging reality that affects not only the individual but those closest to them. We offer specialized care for people navigating substance use disorders and seeking recovery from alcoholism or addiction.
When substance use shifts from occasional enjoyment to a primary coping mechanism, when it becomes your solution rather than your choice, and when it begins to damage relationships with those who matter most—these are important signals that it’s time to seek support.
Our approach to substance use recovery is rooted in understanding and compassion. We recognize that addiction is complex, involving biological, psychological, and social factors unique to each person’s experience. Your pathway forward may be as traditional or as unique as you are, but it won’t be a path that you walk alone.
We’re here to help you:
- Assess your relationship with substances honestly and without judgment
- Explore options for reducing your use, harm reduction strategies, or abstinence
- Determine what level of support best fits your situation
- Create a personalized recovery plan aligned with your values and goals
- Recognition of multiple pathways to recovery
- Develop healthy coping strategies to replace substance use
- Rebuild relationships affected by addiction
- Navigate the emotional challenges of recovery
- Connect with appropriate community resources and support systems
- Build a sustainable foundation for lasting change
Whether you’re questioning your substance use, in early recovery, or working on maintaining long-term sobriety, we provide the tools, guidance, and support to help you reclaim your life and foster healing for yourself and your loved ones.
Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone. Let us help you find your path forward.

We know that...
We help people who are worried about their use or someone else’s. We help those who don’t think they need help and those who are certain they do. But we don’t help everyone the same way because everyone is different. Full Life counselors listen to assess if there is a problem or not, and if so, how we can help.
Ginny H. Mills, MAEd, LCMHC-S, LCAS, CCS, Founder & Staff Counselor
It has been my privilege for 30+ years to walk with individuals and families affected by drug use – their own or that of someone they love. Although I'm credentialed as an "addiction specialist," a better description of me would be "hope specialist." I help frustrated, exhausted, and terrified parents find answers and hope, despite watching their children spiral downward because of drug use. They know that nothing else is working, but they refuse to give up. I work collaboratively with parents while also educating, equipping, and inspiring parents to respond wisely (rather than to react instinctively) to their drug-using son or daughter.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t being heard? That others don’t really understand what you are going through? Or perhaps they do listen, only to give you unsolicited advice in an attempt to be helpful. As a person who has created change in my own life through the benefit of counseling, I know how important it is for someone to truly listen and help you discover choices that work best for you and your loved ones.

David Spillman, CADC
One of the most important choices I have made in life was to surrender the fight with addiction and ask for help. With support from my wife, family, friends, and employers, I went to a 28-day treatment center. With renewed hope, reduced guilt and shame, and a defined program of action, my life slowly began to change for the better. My health, marriage, career, finances, spirituality, and joy improved.

Stories are powerful. As a counselor, I believe that the stories we tell ourselves are the most powerful of all.

This quote harnesses the foundation of my therapeutic process. I believe within us; we encompass exactly what we need to thrive while accomplishing our deepest desires. Through developing healthy coping skills and challenging cognitive distortions, I believe anything can be attained.

Sarah Marsh, MA, NCC, LCMHC
As I have studied and worked in the mental health field, I have observed the healing power of listening to someone’s story and helping them to find words to create their own story. Indeed, I find there is great impact within the occupation of “counselor”, but even more so as a counselor/ storyteller. This is what I aim to be for those who I sit with.
