Our live's might hold experiences that have caused us to feel pain, rejection, and grief. As a result, we might find ways to numb, shame ourselves, and repeat old patterns that no longer serve us. The truth is, you are a resilient human, you have gotten yourself this far, and it’s okay to reach out for help when you need it. Therapy is a powerful tool that can help you to reconnect with the different parts of yourself that have been injured, left behind, or forgotten.

I don’t feel like myself, but I can’t put my finger on why... Life feels hopeless... I feel like I have to learn everything the hard way... I don’t know how to solve my problems or feel satisfied in life... I feel anxious and I don't know how to make it stop... It has been my experience and it is my belief that each person has a deep, innermost compass comprised of their morals and values to guide them. Through many different tools to connect with that inner guidance, I help my clients ground themselves in that truth and recenter their internal beliefs to move through struggles with authenticity and authority.

People are often drawn to therapy by a catalyst, a traumatic experience or formative moment awakens a troubling realization that all is not right. Whether we lean on unhealthy coping skills, abuse drugs or alcohol, engage in toxic relationships, or any number of other visible actualizations of internal struggle, the trauma makes itself known and heard. Engaging therapy is an important first step in facing those emotions and beginning to re-process them in a manner that serves the self and paves a road forward.

I wonder if you've ever found yourself waking up in the middle of the night feeling consumed by thoughts of regret, worry, and self denigration. You feel frozen either because there are too many options or the options available to you are hard to visualize due to the fog of self-doubt that remains stagnant due to a history of prior "mistakes." Now imagine that the fog slowly starts to lift. You suddenly start to question the validity of your personal criticisms. They don't go away entirely, but you start to turn the volume down, and as you do so, you now see your mistakes as opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

Substance Use Therapists

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.
