Dear Clients, Colleagues, and Community Members:

It is with mixed emotion that we would like to inform you that North View Counseling and Recovery, Inc. will be making some significant changes as of July 31, 2010. We have enjoyed serving this community for the last ten years with mental health and addiction treatment. The three founding partners have decided to take on different adventures to better fit their current phases of life. Beth, Gail and Tatiana will continue to consult and cross-refer maintaining a close professional relationship and friendship.

Beth Franchini, LPC will be keeping her roots her in Cumming to be close to home and her two young children. (It makes it easier to pick up sick kids at school when you are just a few minutes away.) She will be in a different location and managing her own front office, but will continue to see a full case load. Please click on her link at www.northviewcounseling.com for additional information.

Dr. Gail Reece will be going in to “semi-retirement.” (Anyone who knows Gail is probably suspicious of that label. For someone who has integrated 800 skydiving jumps and several titles for competitive shooting, surely it will be very active!) Gail will continue to act as an adjunct faculty member with Argosy University. She will also see clients on Thursdays only at a location in Alpharetta, South Forsyth County right off exit 12. Please click on her link at www.northviewcounseling.com for additional information.

Tatiana Matthews, LPC will also be shortening her commute to be closer to her young family, her volunteer commitments and her upcoming children’s book. She will also be seeing a full case load in Alpharetta, South Forsyth County right off exit 12. Please click on her link at www.northviewcounseling.com for additional information.

Although all three therapists will continue to see clients with addictions individually, we will be closing our adult addiction group program. We have a list of referral sources for those who would benefit from that higher level of care.

Finally, we will maintain our website and phone number for several months to bridge this transition. Our website will contain links to the founding partners new information and our previous phone number will provide prompts that forward calls to the partners new numbers. If you are a new client, please read our biographies to identify which therapist will be the best fit for you.

Best,

The Staff of North View Counseling and Recovery, Inc.
