I utilize both counseling and hypnotherapy for the treatment of addictions. In addition, I recommend that
my clients utilize the 12-Step meetings as a way of building a support system. I evaluate the severity of the addiction, and give my recommendations for each individual; client, depending on what will most assist
them in gaining their sobriety.

There are many kind of addictions....chemicals....gambling....adultery....sexual...pornography....internet. These addictions often serve to "mask" intense emotions felt by an individual. The addiction serves, at least for the moment or hour to allow one to "escape". Obsessive Compulsive behaviors follow, often by the decline in quality of life. Working with a professional therapist will allow you to talk about your life, your emotions, your unresolved issues. This journey of discovery can lead to a better self image, better relationships (since addictions are "instead" of people) and better health.

Addictions are a complicated area of work. Often the specific addiction is a symptom for much deeper discontent and shame. Along with the physical body addiction, many times the psycho-emotional issues have been present for a long time. Gaining insight and understanding to these usually very early aspects of oneself can be a useful life long tool in recovery and maintaining that recovery.

The signs of addiction vary widely depending on the severity of the problem. They also vary from one person to another. Usually there is an addiction when you have an uncontrollable urge for consumption of something, such as drugs, drinks, etc. This substance affects your physical and mental health, threatens your financial stability, damages your relationships with family and friends, and interferes with your professional life. At times, it also involves breaking the law, such as the craving to drink even if you have to drive back home.
Sue Passalacqua, M.S., MFT
I work in conjunction with 12-step programs to help individuals recover from addictions. I take a holistic approach to addictions counseling which means that I will begin by exploring, with my clients, their history and upbringing to reveal what role models may have influenced their addiction and the benefit or "payoff" of their addiction. From here we can begin to unravel the negative habits of dealing with life's stressors and replace the addiction with a healthier response to life's challenges.
Ron Jackson, MS
Addictions are often ways we deal with the unhappy experiences with life. They can start off small and sometimes we can walk away. But for many they have wrapped their addictive hands around our lives and we find ourself trapped. While we may get addiction on our own - we often need a group to set us free. The counselor can be a big help and guide in this struggle but the most important element is the Group. Either AA, SA or Celebrate Recovery or other support groups that are out there. I will only treat an addict if he or she is actively participating in a support group. This becomes a winning team for a life and death struggle for normalcy.

People who suffer from addictions are usually carrying deep emotional pain that can be too overwhelming to address directly. The addiction helps one to escape that emotional pain. It is only when the pain of continuing an addiction becomes too unbearable that a person will seek counseling.
In addressing addiction, Ceci helps her clients uncover and face the emotional pain that has been buried beneath the addiction. Ceci treats addiction as a sort of "protective friend" that clients have outgrown and are now wanting to let go of. Ceci helps her clients learn to become their own best friend, as well as find other ways (such as Twelve-Step groups) to support their path to sobriety.

Addiction is often the legacy when one's childhood and adolescence has been unrewarding or tumultuous. It's true that addiction is also disease but it is also a dis-ease, with oneself and with others. Biological pre-dispositions are as true about addiction as they are about diabetes for example. So, if you have family members that are addictions you are at-risk. I have worked in addictions and have had life experience as the family member of addicts. I think the best course of treatment is to be involved both in 12-step programs and therapy. Understanding addiction is only the beginning to healing. In therapy we will work on helping the addict or family member re-gain control and well being.
Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT
I do not work with severe drug and alcohol addiction. I work with clients who are able to function, yet finding it becoming more difficult and needing to stop their behavior before they hit bottom. We use cognitive behaviorial techniques to protect them from acting out and build up a support network. We also begin to explore soothing and coping techniques which are needed and missing.
Janet Whitney, MA, MFT
Having been part owner of a sexual addiction program, I have worked with all types of addictions and I know the pain it can cause for individuals and the people who love and care about them. No one intentionally starts out trying to become addicted to a behavior or substance. It happens over time and from the changes that occur in a person's brain. My approach is to help the person come to terms with the addiction and the process of recovery, in a supportive and educational atmosphere. Often family members will be included in the treatment if the individual is comfortable with that venue.
Richard Mehl, M.Div., MFT, SAP
Are you finding that a certain substance (alcohol, drugs) or behavior (sexual, gambling, shopping, eating, exercise, etc.) of yours or a loved one (parent, spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, child) keeps causing problems in your life? The addictive cycle is where a person engages in a pleasurable activity to escape something unpleasant (negative moods, thoughts, circumstances, stress) and that activity is repeated even though it has become harmful to key parts of one's life (health, relationships, work, truth, etc.). With over 25 years of counseling experience and specialized training in addictions, I can help you break free from the bondage of addiction whatever form it takes in your life.

I've worked in inpatient chemical dependency, researched the use of videotaped feedback in alcoholism treatment, & taught a university graduate course in Substance Disorders & Treatment. While active addiction is generally best treated inpatient, outpatient counseling can be an indispensable support both preparing for and after initial recovery, preferably in conjunction with a strong 12-step program, for relapse prevention and for learning a new concept of self and building the skills and tools needed for sober daily living, such as boredom-avoidance, assertiveness, and relationship building and maintenance.

Addictions are ways people have learned to cope and regulate difficult and painful feelings. My approach is to teach you how to talk about and process the underlying emotions which fuel your addiction, and find alternative ways of coping. No matter what the addiction, it can distract you from important relationships in your life and keep you from being the person you know you can be.
Trish Phillips, M.A., MFT
You didn't start off thinking, "I'm going to become an addict." Whether its drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping, etc., I'm positive your goal in the beginning wasn't to have your whole life consumed with your addiction. That's what addictions do, they take over your life. It is important as you start your journey of recovery that you are held accountable and have the support you need and deserve. As you start to feel the grips of the addiction lesson we will explore the deeper reasons you became addicted.

Empty places within us create vacuums that long to be filled. Drugs, alcohol, sex, spending money, eating, being excessively busy are examples of the ways we attempt to fill the holes that exist within us. Going back to the origin of what created the 'hole' and repairing at that level releases us from the pull of the various forms of addictive behavior. If we don't attend to this, we may stop one addictive behavior, but we will evitably find another. These 'holes' are always healed in the context of a safe, reflective relationship. The therapeutic relationship can help repair those palces where we were left alone to process things we had no early capacity to handle.
