Hi and welcome to finding your way through therapy. I am your host, Steve Bissom. I'm an author and

mental health counselor. Are you curious about therapy? Do you feel there is a lot of mystery about

therapy? Do you wonder what your therapist is doing and why? The goal of this podcast is to make

therapy and psychology accessible to all by using real language and straight to the point discussions.

This podcast wants to remind you to take care of your mental health, just like you would your physical health.

Therapy should not be intimidating. It should be a great way to better health.

I will demystify what happens in counseling, discuss topics related to mental

health and discussions you can have with your therapist. I also want to introduce psychology

in everyday life, as I feel most of our lives are enmeshed in psychology. I want to introduce

the subtle and not so subtle way psychology plays a factor in our lives. It will be my own mix of thoughts as well as special guests.

So join me on this discovery of therapy and psychology.

Hi and welcome to episode five of finding your way through therapy.

My name is Steve Bisson.

Today we're going to have a conversation with someone that I've known for a long time, actually.

His name is David Bassano.

David is someone that has worked in the addiction field for over eight years.

And is someone that I've worked on different task force.

We've also helped out each other when clients needed services.

And all around, we had great conversations. And I thought this would be an awesome conversation. He is currently the founder

of New England Medical Group that's located in Higam, Massachusetts. It is an integrative

healthcare and treatment outpatient facility for psychiatric services, medication management,

medication assisted treatment, we will definitely talk about that, and also a day program.
