Bio
12/22/15. I have been away for several months, nursing a broken heart. i will be back, just not sure when. Please feel free to leave a message.
Hello! My name is Randy. I'm a Verified Active Listener on 7 Cups, a Peer Support, and a Group Moderator. By day I'm a counselor with ten years in recovery. I like to offer solution-focused chats to help you achieve your own goals. I look forward to building our relationship! If you just want to vent, that's fine too.
Now, for a few disclaimers: I prefer to respond to personal requests, so please feel free to message me. I would also prefer that you take a moment to create a Member account. This allows you to provide valuable feedback on our sessions, and also for us to message one another if you would like to speak with me again. A note on the term "Solution-focused" - this is a type of counseling designed for short term issues. For example, a break up, a new job, a fight with a friend. It is not really something that can be used effectively for long term issues, such as abuse, personality disorders and the like. Feel free to message me if you have questions. I get many requests for it, so I thought I would add this clarification. Be well!

...See more Hopefully, we all have at least one Listener (or several maybe) who has helped us grow on 7 Cups. Would you like to show your love? Why not recommend them for a special badge? To do this, all you have to do is go to that Listeners profile and click the yellow banner that says nominate so and so for a special badge. It takes about three seconds but the benefits are so much more powerful. Being recognized by your peers is one of the strongest things you can do, so why not take less than a minute out of your life, and pick, say 5 Listeners who have made an impact on your life and nominate them! And why not go ahead and post to this thread who you've decided to nominate. It will make someone's week, I guarantee it! Here's who I've nominated: (Not all inclusive) @Maku @Noasu @Cadence @Jake @Laura (duh) Who will you nominate? It's Happiness Week! go Get Em!

...See more Hello! I was wondering how we can request to add organizational affilications. There are two i'd like to see on the list. 1. Licensed Professional Counselor 2. NBCC National Board of Certified Counselors How do we go about requesting these be added? I see LMFT on there and so is the American counseling Association, but not the NBCC or the LPC designation. Thanks, Randy

Thank you
So helpful. Thank you for listening.
Awesome listener! Stayed with me for the entire hour, going through every detail of my situation and helping me get a better understanding of the roots of my addiction. He also offered interesting options for recovery which I hadn't thought about before.
