Drug Abuse Therapists in 21204

NOW accepting virtual & in person clients, BCBS or Private Pay ONLY. My ideal client seeks support for a variety of issues, including anxiety/depression, school issues, and life stressors. They need guidance in managing these challenges and yearn for enhanced self-esteem and daily living. I offer a holistic, person-centered, but direct approach based around my over 14 years working with clients, and training newer therapists and counseling students. I'm here to empower clients on their journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

I have extensive experience in the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. I specialize in treating folks with co-occurring challenges, which is the experience of multiple disorders simultaneously. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I rely heavily on motivational interviewing and meet people where they are with unconditional positive regard. My approach is trauma-informed, and my style is to be genuine and transparent, placing a strong emphasis on creative solutions.

Often we are faced with decisions that will have a big impact on the course of our life. Even if we already know the better option, it can feel totally overwhelming thinking about all it takes to make the change. Whether it's an addiction, loss of sense of self, or religion, everything else can slip to the background making it hard just to get through the day. When we work collaboratively in therapy, you will experience new things about yourself and what your priorities really are while letting go of what we are told we should be or do.

Hello! Youve just taken the 1st step towards improving your life; looking for help! I know it's not easy to begin therapy. However, everyone needs extra support sometimes, so please don't be ashamed or embarrassed. My treatment style is a laid back, genuine and non-judgmental, solution-focused approach. My sessions are held in a confidential covid safe office or confidentially online. I also offer a comprehensive outpatient teen treatment program including group and individual therapy, for teen girls. All you need to do is call or email me, so we can develop a plan to make life better for you or your teen. Appts available this week!

For me personally, I find that any client is an ideal client. Every individual has within them their own internal timeline, mechanism, and capacity for change that is inherently correct for them. I do my best to respect this as a clinician. I do ask for an honest accounting of oneself to the best of their ability. If this is successfully reached, then the possibility for healing and moving forward from mental anguish is possible. It is my professional belief that when both the client and the therapist are fully open to the process that the work truly begins.

The stresses of life occasionally take such a toll on us that we need an experienced professional. I have 30 years as a mental health therapist and specialize in trauma, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety and medical trauma. I also work with individuals suffering from the physical issues that often accompany a series of stressful events. I see adults, couples, and adolescents. I find a unique blend of cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness, bibliotherapy and expressive techniques for each client. I also provide clients with community supports and resources to supplement our work together when appropriate.

We all want to decrease our suffering and to live happy, meaningful lives. As a dialectical behavior therapist grounded in mindfulness, I recognize the power of learning and practicing skills to bring about desired change. Whether you would like to increase your ability to manage your emotions; whether you struggle with interpersonal relationships; or whether you find yourself in a crisis situation; it would be a privilege to support you as you work toward your goals.

I'm Heather and I work for Alma Counseling, LLC. I believe good therapy doesn't have to feel stuffy and during your session I hope we can examine what brings you here together through a lens of empathy, self-acceptance, and occasional humor. I believe in the healing power of laughter, the importance of positive relationships, and that to have successful relationships with others we must first have a successful relationship with ourselves.

Do you feel sad, hopeless, confused, overwhelmed, or angry? Have you tried to work through issues on your own but feel like you are not making progress? Have others expressed their concern for you and your well-being? Do you have difficulty concentrating, excessive worry, or have used ineffective coping strategies in the past? I believe I can help you.

I am using both Teletherapy and in-person sessions to help those who are feeling exhausted from the demands of their current life circumstances, concerned over their capacity to move through these circumstances with what they now believe about themselves, conflicted over their personal or professional relationship(s), troubled by family members who are struggling, suffering from a psychological or physical dependence on an addictive substance or behavior, living with chronic or situational depression, anger, anxiety, Adult ADHD, PTSD, and those whose personality traits make life more complicated than it needs to be.

The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - covid pandemic, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.

My experiences both in and out of the work setting are fairly broad so I feel I can address most issues clients present with. My style is engaging and supportive. I view our relationship as a partnership. I will spend the majority of our first sessions together listening to get to know you better. I believe that everything in our lives is interrelated, so at times I may let our focus move to whatever is particularly troubling to you that day. At other times, I may focus you back on the current problem we are trying to solve.

Life can be a struggle because of our internal and interpersonal difficulties. It can also feel daunting to reach out to another for help. The courage it takes to reach out is already the change process in motion in your life. My approach focuses not simply on the shame, guilt, anxieties, doubt and traumas that bring you to psychotherapy, but what is right and where is the glimmer of change in your struggles and traumas. I address traumatic experience, grief, addiction, emotional disturbances, life adjustments, and interpersonal stressors. I specialize in addiction recovery, PTSD and emotional disturbances, and personal growth.

I am a compassionate therapist with extensive knowledge and experience in mental health and substance abuse management through using a wide range of treatment modalities. My clients range from ages 18 to 65 years with a wide range of mental health concerns. I believe in a positive, supportive approach in working with each individual client to develop their own unique treatment goals for the best possible outcome.

I am a licensed mental health professional with over 5 years providing treatment to children and adults of diverse populations from a person-centered, integrated, and empathetic approach to counseling. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, anxiety, addiction, life transitions and many other issues that prevent my clients from becoming the best version of themselves. I am available on BetterHelp and Headway and PsychNP Wellness Center at this time.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety and depression? Often, but not always, these conditions are related to major life transitions or other challenging stressors. In a non-judgemental and compassionate manner, I help people identify their role in these struggles and offer guidance towards their resolution. During our sessions, I will support you in confronting these issues using techniques that enhance your ability to engage in reality based/rational thinking, reasonable decision making and other behaviors that lead to psychological wellness and stability.

Are you exhausted by the ways you've been affected by yours or someone else's issues or addictions? Make the choice to get the support you need to turn things around regardless of how tough things may be around you. It takes courage to make changes but most of us need support to be successful at it. For over twenty years working in mental health treatment I've helped individuals, groups and couples follow through on their inclination that the time for them to begin making changes is now.

Every marriage and partnership goes through ups and downs. However, some struggles call for extra support and guidance from a trained couples counselor. Marriage counseling can have goals, such as improving communication around conflicts; bringing back the spark after feeling like roommates; learning how to blend families after remarriage; or even amicable co-parenting during a divorce in order to have minimal impact on the kids. Whatever brings you to couples counseling, my focus is always on the best interest of the relationship. In working with a marriage counselor, you will find that the “client” is the relationship itself.
