Welcome to Windsong Therapy. You wouldn't be here reading this if you were not going through something painful or difficult. The good news is that pain is often the touchstone of changing for the better. I want to help. I don't believe you become a good therapist just from school or books. It also requires living real life which includes pain, struggle and finding courage, tools and solutions to not only overcome, but then share that knowledge and experience with others.

Channeling through life moments despite how troubling, traumatic or challenging they are requires some sort of "emotional grit." These experiences create responses and behaviors that are not healthy for us - anxiety, depression, impulsivity, anger, addiction etc. At times, these situations are out of our control and stem from our relationship experiences from childhood to now. There is room for growth despite what we have been through. We need Empathy that is genuine and a safe space to HEAL as we go in depth into our experiences and desire to create a value in us as we take time to "breathe, process, and heal," without bias!

That umbrella generally covers anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use and psychotic disorders.
I work well with clients who feel given up on, trapped in cycles, and unsure how to break out. You might feel traditional therapy hasn't worked, or you're ready to disentangle your identity from problem behaviors and have those behaviors challenged directly. People who feel like they haven't benefitted from more conventional therapist interactions, have felt unchallenged, received support in session but didn't feel like they were receiving concrete skills that they can use to address the problem. People who want a therapist that's more authentic and rough around the edges rather than someone who performs the role of therapist.

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.
