Let's be honest, things have been stressful lately! And even though you know everyone is going through it, it doesn't bring you much comfort and you may even feel like you are alone with this. You may have already had a lot going on before things changed and now you have that and this compounded together. The weight of it all can get pretty heavy at times and you are trying to be the best you can with everyone around you. You put on your best straight-face and a smile but worry that you're one moment away from losing it. Imagine how great it will feel to let all that go and feel more in control and confident!

I believe that my clients are capable of more than they believe and there is nothing more rewarding than watching this idea come to fruition in a client’s own mind.

Psychotherapy done well is a powerful sort of education, the kind we don't receive in scho

When a crisis occurs in our lives, sometimes we look the other way and hope it gets better. Or, when the past comes back to haunt us, maybe we’re better off ignoring what’s happened and leave it where it is. But oftentimes, that’s not so easy. Problems that have an effect on our mental health, don’t go away magically. Sometimes it’s easier to turn to a professional who will help you sort through these issues and show you a clear, healthier path to walk through. Focusing on goals and becoming more self aware is what a good therapist can assist you with. I (temporarily) have been granted a license to practice in NJ via teletherapy.

Working with a therapist can be viewed in many ways, but I often like to compare it to shoe shopping; you may get lucky on the first pick, or you might have to try on a few pairs before making the purchase. However, when you find the right fit, it may take you to places you’ve never been before. Choosing a therapist you can trust and feel at ease with can make all the difference by leading to a path of empowerment and growth. We cannot escape or undo the pain of past experiences, but we can explore unaddressed emotions, improve our ability to cope, and manage conflicts that prevent us from finding a peaceful balance.

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.
