Dr. Mustin has specialized in codependency recovery since the start of her practice in 1980. In 1987 she formalized her interest in this area of self-development by becoming a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. In the late 1980’s she worked as a Consultant to Le Pavillon International Recovery Treatment Center, traveling from Austin to Quebec, Canada seven to nine times per year. As a private consultant, Dr. Mustin, helped design and facilitate the segment of treatment related to after-care and establishing a healthy balanced life.
In 2002 Dr. Mustin published her book, Removing Your Roadblocks to Happiness and Success. In this, she presents the acronym ROADBLOCKS which represent a no-fault system of recognizing human tendencies that get in the way of our happiness. In codependency recovery, clients meet individually or in a group to personalize this powerful therapy tool and implement it for the changes they seek in their lives and their relationships.
