Addiction Therapists in Okotoks, AB.

I utilize best practice to work with various addictions and gain the healthy lifestyle that you are aiming to achieve. I understand that there are a variety of personal underlying issues that accompany addiction and the best result is when the underlying issues are healed, resolved or managed in therapy. I also aim to increase coping strategies and work with your personal strengths to optimize your success.

If addiction concerns are an issue for you or someone you love, please contact me for information on my approach and how I can assist you on this journey. I utilize a client-centered approach, honouring and respecting where you are at in the change process. Your therapeutic goals and desired outcomes are of upmost importance and counselling will be tailored to provide you with individualized support and change strategies.

Dr. Val has certification designating her as an expert in assessing for addictions, and counselling within that realm. She has experience in addressing a number of types of addiction: alcohol, drug, internet, sexual, pornography, binge eating.

Working together you will identify the triggers for your addiction and how to find healthier ways to answer the needs these addictions seem to assuage. Cognitive behavioural, biofeedback, and hypnotherapy include some of the approaches Dr. Val will use.
