My specialties are addiction, mood disorders, initial assessment of neurological issues, ADD, trauma resolution, and stress-related conditions. I use Naltrexone and injectable Vivitrol to completely control urges. Examples of people I have helped with E.M.D.R.: a 50-year-old woman whose father verbally abused her and her sibling. Within one session, her trauma ended. A middle-aged male sustained a coma and severe injuries in a car accident. He regained his mental acuity to a mild degree, to continue his life. HEADAPP has improved those with brain impairment issues including stroke and ‘brain fog” from COVID.

I’m a grief counselor with many years’ experience working alongside clients struggling with loss, trauma, and addiction.
Debbie is proudly part of Tri America Health & Wellness and is offering telemedicine visits in NJ, NY, and FL. Grief is an part of life when we love others. But while most of us experience grief at some point, the pain can feel uniquely ours to handle. And that pain can be the result of so many different things… Like struggling with trauma or addiction in your life or the life of a loved one. Maybe you’ve experienced the loss of a child, parent, friend, or partner. Or maybe you’ve received a difficult diagnosis. No matter what it is, finding ourselves again amidst grief can be difficult—and we often need extra support in doing so.

Ever since, it's been crisis after crisis from climate change, deep-seated political divisions, and the threat of violence in our city and on a global scale. Talking about what's difficult to articulate is therapeutic. If you find yourself without the anchor of personal values and purpose, life can feel adrift and unmoored.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
