Addiction

I have worked in the substance abuse field since 2007. I have worked with clients from acute inpatient treatment through sober living and aftercare

I use cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment approaches to address substance use issues. I am very familiar with the 12 step model, but do not insist that it is the only path to sobriety. There are as many approaches to recovery as there are people with substance use concerns. I will help you discover what your needs are, and how to meet those without using substances in a damaging way.

I specialize in the psychiatric management of substance use disorders, recognizing the unique challenges that come with these conditions. My goal is to provide you with personalized care that addresses both your mental health and any substance use issues you may be facing. When it comes to substance use disorders, I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can discuss our experiences and work toward recovery. Understanding the interplay between ADHD and substance use is crucial.

I have been a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC1) since 2010 but have worked in the mental health field since 1996. Along the way I've gained a lot of experience working with folks with substance abuse issues. I also happen to be in recovery myself, so I have built-in empathy.

I often treat addictions along with eating disorders as they occur in dual diagnosis. Substance abuse may arise with no identifiable trauma history, but in my experience it often is coupled with feelings of being unlovable and unworthiness. Our task may be to disarm a harsh shaming inner critic. We do this by opening a dialogue with the unconscious through creative arts, dream, Brainspotting (neuroscience), psychoanalytic techniques, and with assistance from 12-Step Programs, if desired.

Navigating Addiction Recovery Through Therapy Addiction can deeply impact every aspect of your life, from relationships to work performance. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help you explore and understand why substances are playing a role in your life, develop healthier coping skills, and help create a recovery plan that is right for you.

Addiction I specialize in treating addiction with a compassionate and comprehensive approach. My expertise includes utilizing evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients understand and manage their substance use. I focus on relapse prevention strategies and developing healthy coping mechanisms. By addressing the underlying causes of addiction, I help clients build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.

I have five years experience with addiction treatment and co-occurring disorders in both an inpatient and outpatient setting and have guided hundreds of unique individuals in achieving their sobriety goals.

I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with addiction, particularly among teenagers and young adults. My approach focuses on understanding the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to substance use and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I utilize evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. My goal is to create a supportive environment for clients.

Maybe you're drinking a little more than you would like. Drinking can temporally take away our worries or stress, as well as providing comfort and confidence. However, drinking can also numb our feelings and affect relationships, our sleep, cognition, and our health. Together we can explore what you're drinking is providing you, while looking at a moderation management program or becoming sober.

I employ a collaborative approach in addressing addiction or SUDs. My structured process involves a professional assessment of your unique situation and developing a personalized treatment plan that integrates medication management and therapeutic interventions.

Addiction is a chronic disease that affects a large cross-section of the population. Many find themselves feeling hopeless and unsure of how to deal with their experience of substance abuse or addiction. Whether you are just beginning your journey to sobriety, or are simply looking for additional support on your road to recovery, I'm here to help.

I offer a compassionate yet practical approach to reducing or eliminating your alcohol use. I believe alcohol is one of the most damaging drugs around & if you want to stop or reduce your intake, then you are one of the smart ones! It is crazy to me that oftentimes people are judged as "having a problem" or being "abnormal" if they don't drink. If you are ready to stop or reduce alcohol, you are in the right place and I look forward to helping you finally become free of the chains of alcohol.

I have worked with Substance Use conditions for 18 years! I treat clients with a non-judgmental, person centered approach. Harm Reduction is ok! I work to address the root cause of what is driving the problem behavior (mostly using EMDR) and help you establish a new routine and set of behaviors to help you meet your goals.

Have you been trying to cut back on drinking but keep finding yourself back in the same old pattern? Are you tired of feeling sick, out of control, and reliant on alcohol? You don't have to do this alone. By working one on one in therapy, we can identify ways that you can find relief and successfully reduce or abstain from drinking. Having a therapist that's experienced in alcohol abuse will support you in addressing underlying issues that have been keeping you stuck.

Addicts isolate because they are pulling away from relationship. Its easier to go to the unhealthy coping mechanism of choice than to deal with some of the difficult realities of relationship, and yet at the end of our lives, nobody wants to end up alone. I am an addiction specialist. I treat all addictions, even an addiction to fortune tellers. People come to me for many reasons, but they stay because I get results and get results quickly!. Call me to lay the foundation of addiction recovery

I've been a Licensed Addiction Counselor since 2009. You've probably read about evidence-based treatment, which is, of course, important, but what I think is just as important, is compassion-based treatment. This is how I show up, in a safe place with no judgment where you can uncover what's at the root of your substance use; then we make a plan to get you where you want to be.

In recovery myself. Worked as a clinician at a therapeutic community for adults with substance use and/or trauma issues. Passionate about harm reduction and meeting clients where they are at. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to healing or recovery.

I have many years of experience working in the field of addiction recovery, from both abstinence-based and harm reduction standpoints.
