Life can be hard & some days are more difficult than others. We could all use a little help with everyday stressors, major life changes & transitions or struggles with mental health or substance abuse issues. Therapy could be the answer to finding your inner strength & peace again. We are all products of our environment & have a story to tell; a path that directed us to where we are now. I believe we obtain the power to heal ourselves by using our experiences as an opportunity to learn, grow & overcome life’s obstacles & everyone should have access to a safe & healthy environment to explore & heal from our hurts, habits & hang-ups.

Suicidality and depression can be incredibly difficult to cope with. These struggles can lead to feelings of hopelessness, despair, and isolation. No one should have to feel alone during this time. If you have felt alone for far too long, let's take the first step together.

Substance Use Therapists
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.
