Drug Abuse Therapists in Garden Ridge, TX
I work with adults and adolescents who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety and depression, or who are adapting to life challenges. You may feel that you're missing the immediacy and vitality of your life because your energy is sinking into habits of overthinking, arguing with yourself, and struggling with your emotions. You think there might be an easier way, but you're not sure how to begin un-learning years of self-blame and criticism. My focus is to provide quality, results oriented counseling services to individuals, families and couples.

Hi there, I'm Kim. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am passionate about helping clients face life's challenges and come out happier, healthier, and stronger on the other side.

I also use a variety of different tools as needed and have a strong Christian faith that can be incorporated if the client chooses a faith-based model of therapy.

Everyone is on their own path, and everyone's path is their own. I like to think of the client/therapist relationship as "co-travelers." Meaning, we are both on this journey together. I believe in a holistic approach to a person's emotional well-being can make all the difference in the world. I want to help clients to become more aware of how the world around them can have sudden, as well as, long term affects when it comes to therapy. If we can be present with our thoughts and ourselves, we're half way there.

Are you ready to "talk to someone about it"? Is your mind and body so overwhelmed by your past and present experiences that you have symptoms of depression, anxiety, or physical and emotional disturbance? Could this have been brought on by childhood, deployment, first responder trauma, loss, or other life events? These are not uncommon. Life events can induce disturbances in our mood, relationships, and in the ability to effectively cope with day to day experiences. Developing coping skills, self-understanding, and addressing root cause can be among the first steps to self-healing and improved symptoms.

I am a trauma therapist who utilizes effective trauma treatment therapies. I practice using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and now Safe and Sound Protocal . All approaches work with the mind, body, and emotions to help support the movement through trauma. Our bodies are holding containers that will hold onto trauma until there is a pathway for release. If you are finding yourself stuck without movement, traditional therapies not working, maybe this is a new path to check into. I am ready to work alongside you to help you get to where you would like to be.

Drug Abuse Therapists
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, counselors, 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.
