Getting to know Don De Lapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LCADC), Substance Abuse Professional (DOT qualified SAP), Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC)
I am here to assist you in improving your quality of life.
I began my life's work at 17 years old when I entered the U.S. Army to become a counselor, then known as a 91G Behavioral Science Specialist. During my 10+ years of enlistment, I assisted individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues. I also worked in research as a Human Factors Specialist, focusing on how humans behave physically and psychologically in relation to specific environments, products, or services.
I left the service anticipating using my military experiences and my B.A. in Psychology to work in my field. I wanted to help others explore and manage their personal mental health and substance abuse challenges. However, as they say, "life got in the way." Through life's hardships, I learned many lessons in the "college of hard knocks." My break from counseling included working various jobs in light industrial, service, and property management sectors. These experiences deepened my understanding of the human condition.
I was able to return to school and earn a Master's in Psychological Counseling and a Master's in Social Work from Monmouth University. I am now a Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
My specialty is substance abuse, with a concentration on anxiety, depression, anger, and personal relationship issues. My client focus is adults.

What should a new client know about working with you?
I use a friendly, direct, style. I have been told by previous clients that they like the use of my directness with humor. I assist persons in developing their own strengths to increase their quality of life. I do not provide advice. I assist you to work through the issues that you present.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Prior to the first session, I will send out forms to be completed. These forms MUST be completed before the appointment.
If they are not completed prior to the scheduled appointment at least 24 hours before the appointment, the appointment will be cancelled and you will be rescheduled once the forms are completed.
It will save us time, as other counselors may spend time gathering the information in the first session, I choose not to, instead I choose to spend more time with you.
I do not want to waste your session time, so I require the forms to be completed prior to the first session
In the first session, you and I will get to know each other. I will provide some tools to assist you to use to assist in improving your quality of life.
Future sessions will be directed by what issues are important for you. I believe in goals and treatment plans that you assist me to complete to assist in your journey to a higher quality of life.
