My name is Dr. Ronny W. Stephens Sr., and I am a 30-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps with over 20 years’ experience in the mental health field. I currently function as the CEO of two private practices for Mental health services to include addiction. I am Licensed as a Mental Health Counselor and licensed Addiction Counselor in Florida, I also hold national certification as a Master Addiction Counselor (MAC) and I have a Ph.D. with the focus being on Health Psychology. My north star or life work is to provide impeccable services in all areas of mental health and addiction by restoring families and communities to a level of care that transcends future generations.
My professional accomplishments have been in the service to my country on military active duty, starting with the Gulf War and ending with the Global War on Terrorism. I am also proud of working for the federal government in standing up the first Counseling Center for active-duty members on the largest Marine Corps installation on the East Coast. I also had the opportunity to create treatment programs for the first Veteran Treatment Court in Clay County Florida.
My most significant accomplishment has been the opportunity to father my son and daughter in their personal and professional lives. They experienced my military career and travel throughout the world from their birth to adulthood. They now represent the embodiment of who and what I stand for, all I have ever done and the future of all I will ever do.
