Addiction doesn’t have to rule your life.
Therapy for Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Heal and grow without relying on alcohol and other drugs to get through the tough times
Therapy for Alcohol and Other Substance Use Concerns
Your drinking or drug use is interfering with your job and relationships
You're finding it harder to hide your substance use as more people express their concerns
You've tried quitting on your own but always end up coming back to it
You don't know how else to deal with your difficult and painful feelings
You feel at a loss about what to do next but some part of you knows your life could be better
The opposite of addiction is connection. Recovery is possible.
Life doesn’t have to feel this way.
Therapy to address substance use concerns helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less suffering and more fulfillment.
Whether you’ve been struggling for years, are just realizing you may have a problem, or have been in and out of treatment, it is always the right time to put yourself and your sobriety first.
Treating Addiction
As a therapist who has worked in both residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient settings as a primary therapist for clients struggling with substance use disorders, I approach addiction treatment from a holistic perspective. Some of the strategies I use to treat addiction include:
Reducing shame and increasing self-compassion
Identifying root causes and addressing underlying mental health issues
Building coping skills for managing emotions more effectively
Fostering connection with self and others and engaging in community
Developing relapse prevention strategies
Through therapy, you can learn to manage your addiction, regain control of your life, and lead a fulfilling, substance-free life.
Therapy for loved ones of someone struggling with addiction
Addiction not only affects the individual struggling with substance use, but it can also take a toll on their loved ones.
Some common struggles that loved ones of individuals with addiction may face include:
Feeling helpless and frustrated
Struggling to set boundaries and maintain them
Feeling resentful or angry
Blaming themselves for the addiction
Struggling with their own mental health
As a therapist, I also work with loved ones of individuals who struggle with addiction. It's critical to address the impact addiction has on the entire family system and to provide support and resources to loved ones. Please reach out for support.
