Maulding Counseling

Maulding Counseling Services is a Seattle, Washington-based practice focused on helping people experiencing substance use challenges. Led by John Maulding, MA, SUDP, the practice has supported people struggling with substance abuse since 2010. John brings a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s degree in addiction counseling, and personal experience with addiction to his work.

The practice offers personalized substance abuse counseling, addiction assessments, and treatment. Its approach draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, twelve-step concepts, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Rather than applying a single method to every client, Maulding Counseling develops strategies around each person’s circumstances. Treatment is informed by a bio-psycho-social understanding of addiction, considering biological, psychological, and social factors that can contribute to substance use disorders.

Services also include individual counseling and counseling with a spouse or partner. The practice provides educational resources through its blog, with articles on topics such as abstinence, harm reduction, and relationship-based support. Appointments can be requested by phone or through the practice’s website.
