We are now licensed in both Virginia and MA. Hi! I'm Genevieve Nave. I love guiding people in their healing and self discovery journeys. This practice has two other clinicians available for treatment whom I clinically supervise, Brianna a DBT certified music therapist, and Natalie, a person centered clinician who also offers couples therapy. As a practice, Center for Therapy and Healing is founded on a deep belief in the resiliency of the human spirit, the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and of creative expression, and that laughter is immensely beneficial for mental health.

My ideal client is one who is willing to be introspective and patient with themselves during the therapy process. It's important to "fix" the issue rather than put a Bandaid on the problem. I find that learning to dig deeper to get the root cause often yields the best results. My hope is that my clients feel comfortable being vulnerable with me. I want my clients to learn to trust themselves through the therapy process and feel like when they are ready to leave therapy, they have the tools they need to navigate their challenges with confidence.

I believe that therapy is a place to get to know yourself better and I hope to assist this through providing a thoughtful and attentive therapeutic relationship. I take particular interest in supporting folks in identifying and unlearning some of the unhelpful and limiting narratives that we tend to develop. As we begin to identify and name these limiting ideas, beliefs and values and find their roots (often these roots have foundations in trauma/intergenerational trauma, systems of oppression, societal, cultural or familial norms to name a few). It has been my experience that we make room for self-compassion and acceptance.

I know I'm biased, but I think everyone can benefit from therapy. Although many people wish to reduce unwanted symptoms, therapy is also helpful in gaining a deeper, broader and freer understanding of who we are. That's why I named my business "Awake." The point of life is to feel alive. I believe therapy can help awaken those parts that are "dead" within us. I work primarily with adults and adolescents.

I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor located in Dorchester, Massachusetts. I have worked in substance abuse for 8 years by helping men and women fight their addictions. As someone who has personally witnessed the struggles of battling drug addiction, I have come to understand that “the change is in the thinking...not the doing.” This means that any changes we want to make must begin with the way we think about things. Our thoughts impact our actions. Thoughts may be deeply impacted by past traumas, anxiety, the environment in which you were raised, depression, or relationships, and may prevent us from being our best selves.

Alcohol Use Therapists

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.
