About Us

Hello and welcome! I'm Dan Tallman, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) based in Coralville, Iowa. I'm also the proud founder and Executive Director of Acceptance Recovery Counseling.

My journey in the field of mental health and substance use treatment is deeply personal. I've walked the path of addiction and faced the challenges of incarceration. These experiences have not only shaped who I am but also fuel my passion for helping others navigate the complexities of life. I understand the struggles, the stigmas, and the hurdles that come with addiction and re-entry into society. It's this lived experience that informs my empathetic approach to counseling and drives me to create a safe, non-judgmental space for healing.

Over the years, I've gained extensive experience and qualifications, but what truly drives me is the belief that everyone deserves a chance at healing and happiness.

We operate from a harm reduction philosophy, which means we aim to minimize the negative health, social, and economic consequences associated with substance use, without requiring abstinence.

We're one of the few practices that offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for addiction. This evidence-based practice has shown remarkable results in helping people reduce substance use. Learn more about EMDR
