And I'm Denise Everett and I'll be referring to myself as Denise E., when I remember to refer to myself, so thank you.
- We welcome you to our first webinar, this is a learning experience for us, we've done lots of live stuff, we're gonna try and do webinars now so we're looking forward to feedback from you guys. As you can see on the first slide, there is our basic contact information, I am with the Reno Problem Gambling Center and that's the Problem Gambling Center phone number 775-284-5335. At the end, I'll be giving you my personal phone number and Denise Everett at Quest Counseling, that is her business number, 786-6880. So a little bit about me, I have my Master's in Counseling and Educational Psychology from University of Nevada Reno, go Pack! Graduated in 1992 and with that I immediately got my Marriage and Family Therapy certification, eventually I got my LCADC, my Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor certification in Nevada. I am a nationally approved board BACC-NCGC-II,which means I have the highest level of national certification and can supervise gambling counselors who have those initials. And then my CPGC-S is Certified Problem Gambling Counselor Supervisor in the state of Nevada. I'm currently the CEO and Clinical Director of the Reno Problem Gambling Center, which is nonprofit outpatient treatment for gamblers and families. And under the same roof, which is at 527 Humboldt Street in midtown Reno, I'm sure you guys are all familiar with, those of you that know Reno, the trendy thing now is to call parts of downtown midtown and it's having a renaissance and it's very nice because I'm right in the middle of it. I also have my private practice under the same roof, it's Red Hawk Counseling and I do outpatient treatment and consulting both here and at a small office that I have in Lovelock where I go there twice a month. And essentially the private practice things that I focus on are drugs and alcohol as they relate to the family, sex and porn addiction, I have a LifeStar franchise, which means I can use the material for the LifeStar network to treat sex and porn addiction in individuals and couples and I also do other consulting work and other educational activities, which leads me to my last line there, I'm an instructor for the University of Nevada, Reno, I developed and teach a 400, 600 level CAS course entitled, "Exploring Gambling Behaviors." And if any of you have been my students, I would love to hear that in the little chatroom. So, coming right up, here's Denise Everett. - [Voiceover] Hi, I don't have nearly as many initials behind my name, however, I do have, I also have a Master's in Counseling and Educational Psychology and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Nevada, as well as licensed alcohol and drug counselor. I'm currently the Executive Director of Quest Counseling and Consulting, Incorporated, which is a nonprofit agency here in Reno and we provide substance use disorder, mental health, and co-occurring disorder services to adolescents, adults, and families. We have quite a focus on adolescents and young adults ages 18 to 25, 26. I'm also a part time instructor at UNR usually for CASAT and I most recently worked with a group of Peer Support Specialists in a one credit class, so I've done other teaching for CASAT and for PMCC as well. - [Voiceover] So we like to call ourselves The Two Denises and should we go forward with doing webinars together, we are gonna do another one in October and we'll tell you about that at the end. Should we continue to do these activities together, you'll be seeing lots of fun stuff from the two Denises. We went to graduate school together and we both graduated in 1992 from the Counseling and Educational Psych program, so that if there was a camera taking a picture of us doing our scientific explorations, that would have been us back in the day and what you see on the right is a picture of the University of Nevada, Reno's Getchell Library, which is no more. I put it there kind of for sentimental reasons because they recently tore it down and are putting a new building in its place. So those of you who remember the Getchell Library, you can just have a little moment of memory with us. Denise and I spent many an hour in the Getchell Library. - [Voiceover] (laughs) We certainly did. - [Voiceover] So here's a couple of goals and objectives for you guys to think about that we're gonna be hoping to accomplish today and hopefully, why you signed up for this webinar.
