I provide counseling for individuals with a history of substance use disorder and who currently identify with the disease of addiction.
The feeling when you can’t change a difficult situation can be paralyzing. However, feelings are not facts. I believe that therapy can provide you with the perspective and tools that can be life changing. Particularly with addiction, the understanding of what contributes to what now holds you captive can be the start that one needs to be liberated.

It goes without saying that these have been trying times. With the stresses, losses, and fatigue brought on by the pandemic, and anxieties and uncertainty about the future, many of our daily routines have given way to depression, anxiety, tension with others, and unhealthy coping. Psychotherapy can provide the support needed to improve how you feel and function by reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms, reducing excess drinking or substance use, increasing awareness and skills in personal interactions, and improving your overall outlook on life.

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.
