Addiction Therapy Newport Beach is an outpatient psychotherapy service for individual seeking help to work on drug and alcohol addiction and underlying issues such as trauma, mood disorders, stress management, relationship problems. We see addiction as the solution and not the problem and thus we focus on the underlying problems that the individuals are dealing with. Maybe you are just exploring your addiction or finishing a rehab program, maybe you have a loved one who struggles with addiction or you just want to continue therapy as additional support, we are here to help you with your needs.

We embrace a strength based, nonpathologizing (Meaning we will not label you with a diagnosis. Your experience is unique and your narrative will be told from your point of view and not a book) and collaborative form of therapy that will allow you to discover your natural capacity for personal growth and wellness. By providing a safe, supportive & nonjudgmental setting we will work together to guide you in the direction you are looking for. In voicing an alternative path we will reconstruct your desired story in order to highlight your unique qualities, strengths and natural competencies to guide your life.
