As a dedicated mental health therapist, my expertise lies in offering a holistic mental health and wellness services designed to assist clients navigating the complexities of substance use, mental health concerns, and overall well-being.
As a mental health therapist, when I envision my ideal client, I see someone who is not defined by their issues but by their inherent strengths and resilience. They may come to therapy having experienced trauma, which manifests in various ways such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Their needs are multifaceted – they seek understanding, validation, and strategies to cope with and heal from their experiences. Their goals are deeply personal and unique; they might aim to rebuild trust in themselves and others, to find joy and meaning in life again, or to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Life - forever changing. How does one merge in with the change of time when they are stuck in the past with the stories that created such impact and varying degrees of trauma? How does one continue on trying to understand the experiences which led to behavioural addictions or substance use disorders? The battle to "be" and feel free and "okay" is so overwhelming they see no other option than to die - or feel such shame for thinking about it. What crisis has you gripped by the throat leaving you immobile or so dissociated you don't know where one self begins and the other ends?

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, counsellors, 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.
