Addiction Therapists in Riverview, MI.

I recognize that the most important aspect to an effective therapeutic treatment is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. Through this collaborative approach, the client and I identify their strengths and build on these characteristics through therapy. We identify areas in the individuals’ life which are not useful or producing an undesirable outcome-such as self-destructive behavior, poor communication skills, etc.

Many approaches to addiction emphasize willpower and deprivation, but this only works temporarily. Alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours like gambling and gaming offer short-term relief of underlying issues at a long-term cost to one's relationships and health. As an addiction counsellor, I can help you resolve underlying issues, regain control, and build a sense of meaning and purpose, so you can start living the life you want. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery. I meet each client where they are at, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs. Send me a message and we can connect for a quick call to discuss next steps.

There are many benefits of drug addiction counseling. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, behavioral therapies like drug addiction counseling are the most commonly used forms of drug abuse treatment. Counseling can help those who are addicted to drugs in a number of ways and can be used alone or with another type of drug addiction treatment, such as medication. If you are someone who is currently addicted to drugs and wants to stop using drugs because your life is unmanageable, it is important for you to understand that drug addiction counseling is going to be a part of your recovery.

Sexual addiction is our top specialty. Those with out of control sexual behaviors find themselves missing work, staying up all night, going against their own values and putting themselves at risk for legal, marital and health consequences. We don't pathologize the sexual behaviors, we explore the unhealthy relationship the client has with the sexual behaviors. There isn't any certain sexual act that is problematic as much as it is the compulsivity around it. Worse is the effects on a someone who discovers their partner is sexual acting out with other people, pornography or any other sexual betrayal. The betrayal is profound and recovering from this demands the right set of therapeutic tools.

Life experiences are often waves of ups and downs. Addiction is no different. If you are experiencing highs and lows, confusion of where to go next, and struggling to keep on track, give me a call. We can discuss coping skills to maintaining your sobriety and developing a toolbox of overcoming the struggle of reverting to what may feel comfortable in the moment.

Addictions are rampant in our culture - alcohol, food, sex, shopping & money, gambling, work, relationship, internet… You name it. Lots of us are numbing out our lives, choosing compulsive, trancelike activities rather than dealing effectively with our feelings and life circumstances. When you are in an active addiction, you don’t realize that the addiction actually complicates your life more. People think that turning to these activities give them relief, when really addictions bring on more complications. I have training and experience with all types of addiction, and can help you to get free from this cycle of self-destructive behavior and be present in your life.
