I have been working in the field for 25+ years in various capacities from IDD/Autism, clinics, in and out patient, LGBTQ, Correctional Facility Drug Program, men and adolescent re-entry, brushing with some gang activity. Whats was common was: NO PLAN; there should to be a plan. People have to be honest with themself. When being assessed be honest; fabricating the truth; the cycle continues; being honest; the healing begins. It's not easy, but necessary. A plan built on truth and commitment, support goes a long way. Surprise yourself, non-judgmental, compassionate, safe atmosphere.

I know you’re scared and exhausted. Most people don’t seek therapy until they are at the end of their rope. You and your partner are left in a constant loop of misunderstanding, isolation, and rejection. You don’t want to be alone and you don’t want to cause more pain. And yet you know your relationship cannot remain the same. But you and your partner have invested too many years into one another to become another statistic. I am happy to share, there is hope for change and healing even in the darkest situations.

I have known that I have always wanted to be a therapist. Ever since I was 12 years old I was always the friend that cared so much about others and created an empathetic environment. By understanding people's needs and wants, I can create a safe space to allow the flow of thoughts and feelings those have bundled inside. Therapy is more than just talking to someone, it takes work, it takes healing, and it takes time. The concept of therapy can be scary for those who were made to stigmatize it, but by allowing yourself to open up to someone who is unbiased, it can be beneficial in the long run. Thanks!

Suffering is a part of the human experience, and the hardships of life have a way of giving us false answers to these questions of "who am I?" Difficult experiences fill us with beliefs such as "I am not enough" or perhaps "I am too much," or "I am shameful/unloveable/incapable/a bad parent/fill in the blank." Maybe you're struggling with a transition, or crippled by perfectionism or scrupulosity. Perhaps something from the past keeps coming up.

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.
