If you are a trauma survivor, you may have developed methods of coping that are no longer serving you. We can explore these patterns of interacting with the world, and develop new, more adaptive skills. Many individuals who have experienced trauma feel disempowered. It takes courage to reach out for help. That's the first step on your journey toward feeling enlivened. I feel that my role is to listen, to be a support, and to provide clarity when needed. Only you are the expert of you. Together, we will draw a roadmap that will bring you closer to the life you want to live.

Sometimes you may not know where to begin-or if to begin-an intervention process with your loved one. During an hour-long session, I can listen to your story and offer advice and feedback about how to approach your loved one and start the conversation about getting help. I also offer consultation to those suffering from addiction. We will talk about your fears about treatment, any co-occurring conditions that contribute to your substance use, and how to take control of your own recovery process.

Alcohol Use Therapists

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
