Lita Perna

I have devoted my career and my life to helping others. My family has been touched by addiction, mental illness and suicide. My life fell apart when my parents divorced when I was 11 years old., I raised myself from that time while coping with my mentally ill mother. When I was a mixed up young adult, I learned that I could change my behavior and my life by what I thought.
For a time I was a high school drop out. When I changed my mind about who I was and who I wanted to be, I finished school and worked my way through college and graduate school.

I have been working in the field of addiction and mental health since 1987. I was first certified as a substance abuse counselor in 1995. I have spent twenty five years helping people with chronic illness, addictions and mental health issues as a rehabilitation professional, addiction specialist, family therapist and clinical mental health counselor in outpatient clinics and inpatient residential facilities across the U.S. I specialized in helping people overcome dysfunctional repetitive behaviors. Whether you have concerns about your teen, love addiction, codependence, compulsions, dependencies, cravings or addictions, I can help.
