Substance Use Therapists in 02155

Chances are, you are feeling overwhelmed in this present moment. Overwhelmed with life and overwhelmed with finding a therapist to fit your needs. You have come to the right place. I specialize in working with clients of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and substance use. Together, we can understand how these aspects affect who you are and how you interact with the world around you.

I enjoy working with people who are struggling with substance use, whether they are just beginning to question their use and habits or they have experienced chronic relapse and feel hopeless. I believe part of that process is ensuring they are informed of options available and helping them discover their “why.” I have experience supporting people in identifying their strengths, finding coping skills, and creating measurable, attainable goals. I am skilled at navigating treatment systems/levels of care in Massachusetts. I have experience with medical detoxification protocols and can discuss options for medication-supported treatment.

It is not easy to start therapy treatment. An ideal client is a person that, even through all the fears, doubts and questions, takes the first step to start treatment and gives a chance to explore a new technique to find better balance in their life. There could be setbacks in the process but the most important thing is to stay constant. The client is willing to work in their goals and implement skills learned in every session. Also, to ask questions needed, even if they feel afraid, in order to be able to communicate with their therapist in a honest way.

I love working with people who have come to therapy because they really want to change something about their lives that isn't working. Being in therapy takes a certain amount of courage, and those who show up openly to the experience and bravely start working are satisfying to work with. I'm also interested in those who can commit to having a real relationship in therapy. Based on my own personal and clinical experience, the development of a warm, empathic, safe relationship is key to therapeutic success.

Starting over time and time again. You keep saying you are done drinking or using but end up giving in to the urge later in the day. Sometimes you can moderate but other times you feel completely out of control. Waking up in the morning, you have the best of intentions only to feel like a failure later on. You have tried over and over again only to end up in the same place. It doesn’t have to be this way.
