Clinical Psychologist. Author. Speaker.
I’m Dr. Laura Petracek, a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist, author, and speaker. With over 30 years of expertise in psychotherapy, I specialize in utilizing evidence-based therapies, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help individuals struggling with alcohol and substance use, mood disorders, and anger management issues.
Drawing from my personal experiences and extensive training and certification, I provide my clients with a non-judgmental and understanding environment. In addition to working with adults, I also have a special focus on children, adolescents, and those with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and other learning disabilities.

THE DBT WORKBOOK
FOR ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION
A comprehensive guide designed to help individuals struggling with addiction to alcohol and drugs.
During my own journey of overcoming alcohol addiction, I discovered that while there were resources available to me, there were not any specifically tailored to addressing addiction. It is my sincere wish that this workbook will reach and aid those who are struggling with addiction, providing support during their most challenging times.
