Alcohol Use Therapists in Renton, WA
My clients range in age from adolescent up and through adulthood. They are navigating substance use and are often caught between use (experimental or ongoing) and the desire for a more positive lifestyle as something in their life is not working how they would like. My clients also include the families of those navigating substance use, often finding themselves in search of a balance between supporting their loved one while still living their own fulfilling lives. Regardless of who my client is, each deserves a life free of the chaos they are currently experiencing.

Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m a therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I specialize in supporting people navigating trauma, anxiety, women’s issues, and substance use. I work with teens (ages 16+) and adults.
My goal is to create a supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without fear of judgment or criticism. I believe the heart of therapy lies in the relationship we build together, so I take the time to really get to know you and help you feel comfortable as we work toward healing and growth. I also enjoy incorporating humor within therapy as a humanizing tool to help build connection and foster resilience.

I believe that individuals possess the power to change, and it is my role to help you become aware of how to understand and utilize that power. This philosophy of empowerment recognizes the individual as the driving force behind change. Furthermore, this approach leads to effective long-term results when individuals discover how to harness their own inner strengths and gifts, rather than relying on others for solutions to life’s challenges. I believe empowerment is a lifelong gift, and I look forward to helping clients achieve their goals.

My approach to Mental Health Counseling is to view the client as expert in their own life. I do not play the role of expert in my client's lives. I do, however act as a guide, advocate, educator, and support person. What I will do is attempt to see your issues from your perspective and your view of the world. I work within the framework of Person-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the client being the expert, Existential Therapy, which focuses on behavior and looks at how the client thinks, feels, and behaves and the impact they have on others.

I believe, that although we sometimes through no fault of our own fall onto difficult times and challenges, we are all special and have something to offer this world. Sometimes we just need a helping hand, to get back to that point where we can deal with our challenges in a healthier way and outlook.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again. You may be overwhelmed by an overly critical mind that says you are undeserving, less than, or too much. Perhaps you take care of others and forget to take care of yourself. You long for companionship and have a deep desire to matter, to belong, and to be respected.

To help others move from feeling disempowered and alone to finding agency and connection is my great joy. I treat individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I treat couple/relationship issues such as infidelity, desire discrepancy, difficulties navigating differences, and unresolved conflict. If you're struggling with "stuckness", internal conflict, confusion about who you are and/or what you want, disillusionment, or painful relationships, please reach out. Pain grows in isolation, so get the support you need.

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
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 alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
