Mutual trust and respect between one another is the most important component to successful therapy. Because I also believe that therapy is a collaborative process, I am not going to convey to you that I have all the answers to your concerns and you don't. Instead, as we get to know each other I am going to work as hard as I can to listen, learn, remember, explore, talk, and after a strong degree of trust and respect is developed between us, challenge you. Working together, we will reduce the barriers preventing you from making adjustments necessary for change.

In the Buddhist tradition it is noted: "all that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become". This quote reflects my psychological approach to the problems people bring to me. My approach is as pragmatic as it is philosophical, as caring as it is confrontative and as serious as it is humorous. This may sound contradictory but life is not linear and therapy is a microcosm of life. The relationship that develops between a therapist and the client is the heart of the engine of change that defines therapy.

You feel stuck and not sure how to move forward? Perhaps you're feeling lost and confused, or a sense of unease about where you're at in life, but can't put a finger on why. It’s hard to connect with your partner, family & coworkers. You’re beginning to feel unhappy in your relationships & becoming more frustrated. Your support system feels like it's crashing and you're “all alone". It is exhausting pretending like you have it all figured out. Every person's story is unique and has the ability to rewrite their narrative. On the outside you look relatively put together, but on the inside it’s a different story. Let's figure it out!

Substance Use 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.
