Addiction Therapists in Lochbui, CO
Finding the right therapist shouldn’t be difficult or intimidating. I have always felt finding a therapist is like dating, but the therapist doesn’t have to share. I wish for the client to feel good or less scared. I try to make therapy easier, and our first session to be relaxed. There are no expectations from me. I want you to feel empowered. Calling me and meeting is the first step to increasing your confidence. A little about my therapeutic approach, I show I care but say what most clients are too scared to say themselves. I have had countless examples where at the right time and within context, I say the biggest fear.

Sometimes life feels unmanageable, and we hide from ourselves and others. This pattern of comfort and coping can spiral out of control, causing more issues than the problems we were initially trying to solve. As a therapist, I believe my role is to help you see these patterns and understand the needs you are trying to meet. Without shame or judgment, I aim to help you explore what has happened and how to move yourself out of this painful place. For many, this involves exploring your background and incorporating your identity into the work.

Finding a way to live our lives aligned with our goals and values is one of the most meaningful steps we can take to decrease suffering and increase a sense of purpose in our life. Unfortunately, over our lifetime, we may have learned ways to engage with the world which get in the way of our own successes. We may have become stuck in patterned ways of thinking and acting, which become second nature and can be difficult to change without targeted work. This can lead to feeling discouraged or even hopeless.

I believe therapy can look many different ways, and can be very effective in varying forms. Sometimes we benefit greatly from brief therapeutic episodes that provide for education, skill building, and perspective shifts. Other times, we may benefit from ongoing relational work with a counselor. And sometimes, we find growth in intermittent visits with clinician. Therapy should ultimately be tailored to the client's needs, abilities, and goals. I approach client care with warmth, curiosity, empathy, and a bit of humor. I believe the interconnection between our biology, psychology, socio-environmental and for many, spiritual factors.

Through unpacking the words of your inner critics, you have the opportunity to find your true self and experience self forgiveness, confidence, love, and acceptance.

You are NOT a malfunctioning human!
Navigating the world with a brain that works differently can be difficult, even traumatic. Therapy is most effective when you can bring your authentic self and build genuine trust; it is nearly impossible to make sustainable gains when you are masking or feel misunderstood. My eclectic and strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach meets you where you are and encourages you to embrace your identity and work with your brain, not against it.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
