Chemical Dependency Assessments
$150
Are you in need of a chemical dependency assessment? I complete 245G compliant comprehensive assessments to provide appropriate treatment recommendations.
I have over three years of experience completing assessments for individuals requiring evaluation of their substance use due to court, probation, work, or the internal desire to seek a sober lifestyle.
My assessments are provided over the weekend to accommodate working professionals that otherwise have difficulty scheduling around their busy lifestyles.
Assessments are completed over telehealth.
Sword in Stone Counseling is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance. Payment for services is due at the time of the appointment. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement rates vary by plan.
Chemical dependency assessments are limited to Minnesota residents only.

Origin Story
William Newman
I am a licensed alcohol and drug counselor in the state of Minnesota. This phase of my life began with navigating themes of hopelessness and low self-worth through walking the path of the hero’s journey. While traversing my personal abyss, I journaled my experience and wrote my first book not Super but Human. While writing, I researched how to incorporate the empowering path of the Hero’s Journey with existentialism, narrative therapy, and the Stages of Change. The resulting framework was meant to be a supportive guide for anyone seeking personal growth, discovering purpose, or struggling to rebuild their identity post crisis.
In my work, I developed the Heroic PATH Model, a unique goal setting model meant to encourage self-discovery and the pursuit of purpose. Individuals are encouraged to walk the Hero’s Journey, challenging problematic narratives to rewrite themselves as the heroes of their own stories. This framework became the foundation for the Everyday Hero PATH Program, a coaching group focused on personal growth, fostering strength, and connection to others.
