By looking backward, I can begin to live forward by becoming who I really am. Attachment shapes behavior and thinking. Survival skills from earlier life become maladaptive barriers to growth. Addiction and mental health problems often reflect a False Self. If I have the courage to confront the masking qualities of this False Self, I am ready for change and to allow the True Self, my authentic and spiritual nature, to emerge. While we cannot make these changes alone, readiness is indicated by my willingness to engage beyond therapy in Twelve Step programs or other means of engaging with others.

**Update: In-office appointments are now available** We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are" ~Anaïs Nin... Anybody can get stuck. We all have blind spots and darkness, but we don't have to live there. The first step is asking for help. I believe that we're wired for love and belonging, for connection, but that as a culture we've never been more disconnected: from ourselves, from our lives, and from each other. And in disconnection we shut down. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's an acknowledgement that we just need some relief.

Mental Illness and Addiction rob us of our hopes and dreams. It touches all areas of our life, harming ourselves, our parents, partners, and children. At times life feels hopeless. Even the idea of change seems unattainable. To treat mental illness and addiction or substance use disorders you address a host of emotions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, life issues, and existential struggles. I have spent the last 17 years of my career helping individuals, couples, and families heal from mental illness and substance use disorders and making this moment a leaping off event to their next journey.

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.
