My clients often struggle with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed by how their alcohol or drug abuse has gotten out of control. Family & friends don't understand why they can't just stop. By working together many times this problem can be solved & quickly turned around and it doesn’t always mean going to 12 step meetings. Clients who work with me show quick positive results. No hangovers, feeling sick or feeling ashamed of the night before. Can you imagine waking up & feeling happy to start the day? That can totally be you.
When we work together in short term therapy, you can expect to learn how to improve your mindset, self-esteem & confidence while you conquer the addiction. We will create a personalized alcohol use or drug abuse recovery plan of skills that work for you and reduces or eliminates the problem.
Don't let addiction control your life any longer. I am here to support you on your journey to recovery. Take the first step toward a healthier, happier life. Reach out to me today at (727) 815-6017 to schedule a free confidential consultation. You can learn more about me at cindythecounselor.com
