Substance Use Therapists in Cardiff By The Sea, CA

In the movie of your life, do you play the hero and the villain? Examples would be self-sabotage, counting yourself out, getting angrier than you need to, or adding stress to deal with stress. If being self-aware of these patterns hasn’t been enough to help you make positive changes, the support of a therapist might. Even if I don’t personally get the opportunity to work with you, I want you to know it takes courage to look within to stop being your own worst enemy. If we do work together I’m committed to helping you channel that courage to face what’s getting in the way of the role you want to play in your life.

You deserve a happy, healthy life. Life and relationships can be increasingly painful, yet it is difficult to reach out for help. The longer we put off getting help, the worse things can become.

I confront in a gentle way so that you can begin to learn how to change those patterns.
