In our online, skills-focused group held on Sunday afternoons, we work with specific approaches that research suggests are helpful to people who want to reduce or end use of substances that have become problematic for them. You're invited to learn more here: http://www.annegiles.com/group/

For clients who identify as female and have completed several individual sessions of CPT, we offer an online group for practicing the use of CPT skills in the supportive company of others. CPT provides a way to understand why recovery from traumatic events is difficult and how symptoms of trauma affect daily life. The focus is on identifying how traumatic experiences change thoughts and beliefs, and how thoughts influence current feelings and behaviors. With new awareness and skills, the natural human ability to heal from hard times is freed, as are people to continue on without the conscious & unconscious domination of trauma in their lives.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based counseling protocol offering assistance with many challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, eating disorders, behavior concerns (gambling, gaming, shopping, etc.), OCD, and personality and thought disorders. To become a member of this online CBT group or with questions, please contact me. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
