Addiction
Supporting Your Journey to Recovery from Addiction
With over 13 years of experience specializing in substance addiction, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate the path to recovery. I understand that addiction is complex, often intertwined with factors like trauma, mood disorders, learning disabilities, chronic pain, and other health issues. That's why I focus on treating the whole person with a holistic approach.
Tailored Therapeutic Approaches
Every person's journey is unique. That’s why I use a range of therapeutic methods to suit your specific needs:
Motivational Interviewing This approach helps you explore your motivations for change in a supportive, client-centered way. By boosting your internal drive, you’ll feel more empowered and committed to your recovery goals.
Harm Reduction: I meet you where you are in your relationship with substances. Harm reduction strategies focus on minimizing risks and promoting safety, whether or not total abstinence is your current goal. This method allows you to make informed decisions about your health.
Abstinence based recovery & 12-Step Programs: For those who find it beneficial, I integrate the principles of 12-step programs and encourage clients to be open to the support these programs may have to offer. These programs offer structure and community support, providing valuable resources on the path to sobriety.
The Role of Family in Recovery:
Including family members in the recovery process can be incredibly powerful. Here's how family involvement can enhance your journey:
Improved Communication: Involving family fosters open conversations about the challenges of addiction, building understanding and mutual support.
Increased Support: Family members can provide crucial emotional and practical support, creating a stronger foundation for recovery.
Addressing Family Dynamics: Through family therapy, we can identify and address any patterns that might contribute to addiction, cultivating healthier relationships.
Education and Awareness: By educating family members about addiction and recovery, they become better equipped to support you effectively.
A Compassionate Approach to Healing:
Recognizing the complex nature of addiction and its underlying causes, my goal is to foster a compassionate and supportive environment. Together, we work to build your resilience, self-awareness, and skills for maintaining your long-term recovery goals. Your journey is unique and deserves to be honored and supported every step of the way.
