ABOUT
MEET DR. OZIE
I am a recovering addict with over 40 years of being clean and serene. I had to hit my rock bottom before I became willing to surrender to my addiction. I also have decades of recovery from multiple addictions. I am a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC), a certified compulsive problem gambler counselor (CPGC), and was a licensed clinical social worker for over 25 years. I have a Bachelors of Arts (BA) from Thomas Edison State University, a Masters of Education (M. Ed) in counseling from Antioch University, a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) from Yeshiva University. I have worked in the addiction mental health field for over 35 years.
My passion is to inspire and empower individuals struggling with addiction, and help them maximize their potential to live a life beyond their wildest dreams!
