Substance Use Therapists in Jennings, LA
In a society heavily influenced by opinions, it can be hard to distinguish reality in our daily lives. Navigating through difficult situations becomes a greater challenge while also trying to discover your purpose and self-worth. I believe that therapy requires a holistic approach which aims to improve the mental, physical, social and spiritual health of every person I encounter.

Clients that I work with typically have difficulties related to their emotions/moods, relationships, family, work, parenting, substance use, and life stressors.
In our sessions, you can expect to be provided with non-judgemental feedback and encouragement to lead you to becoming more self-aware and create new solutions for your situation. If we can become aware of it, then we can change it. With EMDR therapy, you can feel "unstuck" from the past and look forward to your future.

As a therapist, I use DBT, motivational interviewing, and change-focused therapy to support clients struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, racing thoughts, insomnia, substance use, trauma, and other challenges that may feel like obstacles to the life you want.
Saying “I need help” may be one of the most powerful phrases you can speak. It’s an act of courage—one that breaks down limits and opens the door to change. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are within your power to shift.
Blessings often come in unexpected forms. Strength, hope, and joy aren’t just things we find; they are choices we make. Even in the darkest moments, transformation begins with action—small, intentional steps that move your mind and life toward the future you want. It takes effort, but you can shift your perspective and build a life that aligns with your values and goals.

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
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 substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
