Trauma, substance use disorder, and mood irregularities are the main issues I specialize in helping clients in therapy. A typical treatment plan may include; 1. Be able to engage in daily life without strong emotional triggers, 2. Remain in recovery from substances and navigate emotional distress without them, and 3. Be in control of emotions, responding with control to situations.
