Addiction Therapy

INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, FAMILIES

 

Addiction can affect every part of life—your relationships, health, work, and sense of self. Whether you’re struggling with substances, pornography use, compulsive behaviors, or trying to support a loved one through addiction, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to understand the roots of addiction, build coping strategies, and begin the process of healing.

Our approach to addiction therapy is person-centered and evidence-based, recognizing that recovery is not just about stopping a behavior—it’s about rebuilding a life of meaning, connection, and resilience.

We can help you:

  • Understand the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to addictive patterns

  • Develop healthier coping strategies and stress management tools

  • Strengthen motivation and relapse prevention planning

  • Rebuild trust and communication in relationships

  • Address co-occurring concerns such as trauma, anxiety, or depression

  • Explore identity, purpose, and long-term goals for recovery

Whether you’re in early recovery, considering change, or seeking support for ongoing maintenance, therapy can be a powerful part of your recovery journey. Healing is possible—and it starts with reaching out.

 

Adolescents and Young Adults

Adolescence and young adulthood are times of exploration, growth, and change—but they can also be challenging when addiction becomes part of the picture. Substance use or addictive behaviors during these critical years can impact development, relationships, and future opportunities. Early intervention and compassionate support are key to helping young people build a healthier path forward.

Addiction therapy for adolescents and young adults focuses on understanding the unique pressures and influences they face, while providing age-appropriate tools to foster recovery and resilience.

 

In therapy, we help young clients:

  • Explore the underlying emotional and social factors contributing to substance use or addictive behaviors

  • Develop healthy coping skills to manage stress, peer pressure, and emotional challenges

  • Build motivation and confidence for lasting change

  • Repair relationships with family, friends, and school or work communities

  • Address co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression, or trauma

  • Create a balanced, purposeful life beyond addiction

Our approach is supportive, nonjudgmental, and tailored to meet young people where they are—empowering them to take ownership of their recovery and build a foundation for a fulfilling future.

Support for Families Affected by Addiction

Addiction doesn’t just impact the individual—it affects the entire family. Watching someone you love struggle with substance use or compulsive behaviors can bring a mix of emotions: fear, anger, helplessness, guilt, and grief. You may find yourself walking on eggshells, feeling burned out from trying to “fix” things, or unsure how to set healthy boundaries. You are not alone—and your well-being matters too.

Family-focused therapy provides a supportive space to process your experience, learn about the nature of addiction, and explore practical ways to care for yourself while supporting your loved one.

In family counseling, we can help you:

  • Understand addiction as a complex, multifaceted condition—not a moral failing

  • Learn effective communication and boundary-setting strategies

  • Process feelings of confusion, resentment, or loss

  • Address codependency patterns and family dynamics

  • Reduce blame and build empathy, without enabling harmful behavior

  • Strengthen your own emotional resilience and coping skills

Healing happens in relationships. Whether your loved one is in recovery, active in addiction, or not yet ready to seek help, your support can make a difference—and your own healing is just as important. Therapy offers a space for clarity, strength, and hope for the path ahead.

Integrated Care for Mental Health and Addiction

When mental health challenges and substance use disorders occur together—known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders—treatment requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach. Addressing only one issue often leaves the other untreated, which can impede recovery and increase the risk of relapse.

Dual diagnosis treatment provides integrated care that simultaneously targets both mental health symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder) and addiction. This holistic approach recognizes the complex interplay between these conditions and supports lasting healing.

We focus on:

  • Thorough assessment to understand the full scope of mental health and substance use concerns

  • Personalized treatment plans that address both disorders simultaneously

  • Evidence-based interventions like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing

  • Developing coping skills to manage triggers, cravings, and emotional distress

  • Relapse prevention strategies tailored to your unique needs

  • Strengthening social support and rebuilding healthy relationships

By treating mental health and addiction as interconnected, therapy offers a pathway toward balanced wellness and sustained recovery.

Sustaining Recovery and Wellness

Recovery is a continuous journey that extends beyond initial treatment. Long-term maintenance is essential for sustaining progress, managing ongoing challenges, and preventing relapse. This phase of care focuses on reinforcing healthy habits, emotional regulation, and coping strategies that support lasting wellness.

Therapy helps you build resilience and adapt to life’s changes while maintaining balance between mental health and addictions.

 

Key components include:

  • Ongoing therapy to monitor symptoms and address emerging issues

  • Refining coping skills to handle stress, cravings, and triggers

  • Support in maintaining healthy routines, relationships, and self-care

  • Relapse prevention planning tailored to your evolving needs

  • Encouragement to engage in community resources, support groups, and meaningful activities

  • Collaborative care involving mental health professionals, addiction specialists, and primary care providers

Long-term maintenance is about empowering you to live a fulfilling, balanced life—celebrating your strengths while preparing for challenges ahead. With sustained support and personalized strategies, recovery becomes not just possible but sustainable.

Strength, resilience, and healing beyond addiction.

Recovery starts with hope—and the courage to ask for help.
