Welcome to the start of a new life and a more well-balanced YOU. All too often we find ourselves in need of a little bit of validation, assurance, or direction. It is my professional belief that seeking therapy is the first step to empowerment and healing.

They want to be heard, validated, and given a sense of direction. One reason is that some may feel hopeless about their circumstances and their future. Others may feel helpless about their ability to change their lives due to past traumatic experiences.

All of our services are outpatient - office based treatment. Our patients are initially seen to determine if they are suffering from Opioid Use Disorder and if they are appropriate for Buprenorphine Treatment with Subutex or Suboxone. Patients undergo an induction and stabilization period that will require more frequent visits but our expectation is that patients can be stable with monthly medication visits. In addition our patients attend a group therapy session once a month or more frequently if they are having difficulty with compliance. Patients are given random drug screens and pills are counted at least at each medication visit.
