Need a therapist who specializes in addictions? One who knows about the mixed feelings of both wanting to continue in the addiction and also wanting to change? Sometimes the part of you who wants to stay addicted will be the most powerful, the most present, ...and that's okay. Other times you will so desparately want to climb out of the hole of addiction... and that's okay too. Thomas Schmierer, M.A., can help you observe what it is like to be in both places at the same time using a technique called a "cognitive interweave." This technique is one of the latest methods for resolving this conflict and moving you towards freedom from your addiction. Contact Thomas today!

I have had considerable experience treating addiction, and I believe that those who rely on substances or alcohol for self-medication are treating old wounds and unresolved trauma. I use the motivational model to be sure the client is serious about quitting or at least moderating his/her behavior. Next, I employ psychodynamic therapy to uncover and unravel the causes of their distress. Finally, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help the client change their destructive behaviors. During this process, I encourage reading and attending 12-step meetings for group support.

Most of our therapists have extensive experience working in substance abuse. We define substance abuse as the abuse of drugs and/or alcohol. This includes both legal (prescription drugs) and illegal drugs.
There is quite a debate as to what constitutes substance abuse, so here are the definitions of substance dependence and substance abuse paraphrased from the (DSMIV) Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders:
Substance dependence is defined as when a person continues to use the substance despite significant substance related problems and a minimum of (3) of the following signs are present at any time during the same year.

The transition to young adulthood can be an intense time where teens may become overwhelmed by new feelings. Self-medication through drugs or alcohol is often an attempt by teens and young adults to regulate or avoid uncomfortable feelings.
Since individuals who are at high risk of becoming addicted often feel emotionally disconnected from the people in their life, my work focuses on helping teens create more meaningful connections with their family. I also work with young adults who have completed rehab and are interested in finishing the emotional growth process that got derailed while they were using drugs as a teenager.

When your life has been taken over by drugs, alcohol, food, sex, shopping, gambling, or spending hours on the computer, the world can seem like a helpless place. I have worked with individuals and families affected by addictions, and know that it can be a difficult place to get out of. However, I have also seen therapy be effective and change people’s lives. I provide a safe and non-judgmental place where you can discuss your addiction and discover ways to fight it and improve the quality of your life and relationships.

Whether alcohol, drugs, sex, or gambling, addictions can destroy one's life. And there is no quick fix. But recovery is possible with appropriate treatment. I have been working with addicts for several decades. I have learned that addictions are a complex of psychological, biological, and sociological issues. As such, a three pronged approach is necessary. Each of these areas must be addressed. Most addicts have not learned to manage stress and deal with emotional pain. Hence, they have found their addiction of choice to be soothing, at least for the moment. They are self-medicating through their addiction. Healing through psychotherapy and self-help programs is possible.
