Adjusting to the inevitable changes that life brings us can be overwhelming and distressing. These stressors are often times avoided in everyday conversations. Whether it be divorce, financial stress, empty nest, career changes, relocation, loss, or identity changes, these parts of life create anxiety, conflict within relationships, and emotional stress. You are not alone in these feelings. You likely are aware of how to logically make sense of what is happening, however the real challenge is managing the emotions that come with these events.

Are you struggling with substances but feel “rehab” isn’t right for you? You don’t need to leave your job or family for a month to find the help you need. Addiction is tough: that compulsion to go back and do the same thing over and over, even though you know it's destroying your life... You feel fear, anxiety, failure, worthlessness, humiliation, contempt... You've tried to break the 'habit', get your control back, but just when you start feeling some success you stumble, and you're back in the same hole again. Breaking your substance abuse alone is not as simple as it sounds. Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab.

So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.
