About
I treat substance abuse and behavioral addictions, as well as emotional codependence and anxiety. I have specialized in the treatment of emotional codependency with an unexpected success. Codependency is an addiction, associated with anxiety and low self-esteem. My clients can still be struggling with an active addiction, they also are in recovery for a short or long period of time, and want to maintain their emotional balance to avoid relapse.
To evaluate the person's needs we can talk and/or use sessions of relaxation/meditation/visualization, and a debriefing. It opens the door to feelings, emotions, centers of pain. Then, we agree on a treatment plan. I practice CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and I am very concrete and goal-oriented.
Confinement is particularly difficult for addicts and can cause relapses. It is also time to face our inner selves and to make remarkable progress. Zoom, telephone, etc... are great tools. Confinement is also very stressful for codependents. I can relate to all of them through my own experience, and recovery. Time to be GENTLE with yourself!
