Group meets in Fairfax, VA 22031
Making a choice to reach out for support is a brave thing to do and something to be proud of. Life is full of unexpected challenges and sometimes reaching out to talk to someone when you’re going through a difficult time can be surprisingly helpful. My goal is to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and address any difficult emotions or thoughts that have been holding you back from experiencing healing, peace, and wellness. I'm experienced working with adolescents and adults providing individual/group/family therapy in a variety of settings, including residential, outpatient, detox/hospital, and criminal justice system.
The focus of this support group is to help guide and encourage continued work on recovery from substance abuse. This men's group focuses on the day to day struggles faced in recovery as well as offering peer group support. It is difficult for men to break the barrier of self reliance in dealing with emotional and relational issues related to addiction as well as that which is encountered in recovery. This group offers participants the opportunity to share as well as support each other as we learn to live substance free.

Group meets in Reston, VA 20190
Often in an attempt to finish "unfinished" business, we reenact unresolved issues in hopes of a better outcome finding ourselves face to face with the mountain of pain looming large in our past. I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and groups struggling with addiction, compulsive behaviors, depression, trauma, and related issues. If you struggle with addiction, I use emotionally connective and psychodynamic therapy to help you reach abstinence and then recovery, pre or post rehab. If you are struggling with the out-of-control substance abuse merry-go-round, we can work together to improve your life.
These groups are designed to assist high school students or young adults (18-23) with struggles related to launching, individuation and managing family, school, employment and court related issues. The focus is on improving mental health, decision making and being abstinent from mood altering substances while working to make positive and sustainable behavior changes. We meet weekly in a teletherapy platform to process actions and directions and problem solve areas of life that are impacting independence. The high school group program also has a separate parent group. Call for specifics please.

Substance Use Support Groups
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
