Comprehensive Assessment
I begin with a thorough assessment designed to help you understand your risks related to use of addictive substances and provide recommendations and referrals that will help you address them. I provide an objective and thorough evaluation and recommend the resources that will benefit you the most.
Individual Counseling
I offer support and therapy tailored to your needs. The relationship of client and counselor is the single most important factor in successfully addressing addiction. My strategies include:
-
One on one support for individuals who wish to address problematic use of alcohol and other drugs
-
Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) , motivational interviewing, and 12 Step facilitation
-
Recovery Case Management to support transition from treatment, including regular individual sessions, coordination of services, monitoring and employment and financial coaching.
Family Counseling
Addiction is referred to as a ‘family disease’ because it profoundly affects family members. Families need support during all phases of addiction and recovery. I support families by:
-
Working with families to obtain help for family members
-
Counseling and resources to help families change and adapt to support a loved ones recovery
SUD Prevention
While individual substance use disorder risk factors include a person’s genetic predisposition to addiction or exposure to alcohol prenatally, life experiences can contribute to risk. I work with individuals to:
-
Provide education
-
Examine risk factors
-
Address mental illnesses that often go hand in hand with substance use
- Equip individuals with tools to prevent substance use for at risk individuals
