My name is Joseph Gorordo and I am the Vice President of Business Development at Recovery Unplugged. I am also a therapist, husband, and proud father to three amazing kids!

Shortly after graduating from high school in Laredo, TX, I found myself hopelessly addicted to alcohol and drugs. I spent the following six years using IV heroin and bouncing from treatment center to treatment center, never staying sober for more than a few days. On July 21st, 2008 I was removed from drugs for the last time and have been 100% sober from all mind altering substances ever since! I’ve dedicated the majority of my time in recovery to helping others find their freedom from addiction and am proud to have continued that work for the last 3 years with Recovery Unplugged.

Recovery Unplugged is a completely unique approach to addiction treatment. We use the healing power of music alongside traditional interventions to help our clients reconnect with their emotions, their true selves, and the world around them.

I am truly blessed to lead the life I live today and have the amazing privilege of watching people recover!

I would love to connect with other helpers in this group to build collaborative relationships and help others to recover!

LPC-A

Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate

I help adults & teens live fuller, more authentic lives. The complexities of life can weigh on us, affecting our energy & perspectives. Maybe you have gone through some painful or challenging experiences. A part of you is calling for something different & that brought you here now. Many issues come from low self-worth, or from losing trust in our inner voice after painful experiences. However, this wisdom is always inside us & will continue to create “symptoms” & “problems” in our life in an attempt to get our attention. Trust that feeling the desire to change a pattern is a sign you’re ready for the challenge required.

With self-compassion, we see that we did the best we could at the time. With resilience, we move out of stagnation & turn our experiences into growing opportunities. This is how we transform our pain into wisdom & strength.

Some areas of focus:

• self-worth, depression,
• reconnecting to your intuition,
• spiritual journeys,
• family of origin, identity,
• life transitions,
• empaths/intuitives/highly sensitive people,
• grief, over-thinkers who need help feeling, trauma,
• integrating psychedelics or other transformative experiences,
• “canaries in the coal mine,”
• those who feel misunderstood,
• disruptors to the status quo… & more.

My approach is heart-centered, relational & trauma-informed. I meet you where you are by combining various approaches. I primarily use Psychodynamic theory, Mindfulness, IFS/Parts work, & Attachment theory.

Most importantly, I focus on authentically connecting with you.

I’m down to earth, patient & willing to challenge you as well.
