About
In my practice, I attempt to address suffering: what makes us suffer, how we suffer, and how suffering can be alleviated. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues and are not afraid to take on the suffering consciously, with my support, in order to transform their lives. I specialize in the treatment of addictions of all kinds, but primarily chemical, co-dependency, sex and romance, and gambling. I also specialize in the treatment of trauma/PTSD, both from current life situations and from childhood experiences.
I work primarily in two modalities: one, using a mindfulness-based way that focuses on assisting the client to notice what is happening to them emotionally in each moment and two, an in-depth approach to "dig deeper" into the client's psyche in order to arrive a deeper understanding of one's self.
I am receiving advanced training at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco in depth psychology. I also work extensively with persons suffering with addictions, as well as with their partners and families. I also work with trauma and the lasting effects of trauma/PTSD.

Richard C Alongi's Groups
Lawyer's Assistance Program
The LAP group is affiliated with the State of California Bar Association for its members who need additional life and professional support. We also deal with disciplinary actions, substance abuse, depression, anxiety and other life issues. Referrals can be made through the State Bar website: http://calbar.ca.gov/Attorneys/MemberServices/LawyerAssistanceProgram.aspx or calling my office @ (707) 573-9690.
Co-existing Disorders Support Group
This group is for persons diagnosed with co-occuring disorders, primarily some forms of psychiatric and substance abuse problems ("dual-diagnosed'). In this group, members will learn a variety of valuable tools they can use in the maintenance of their recovery. Members should have some "clean time" already and be actively engaged in an outside recovery-based program, as well.
