Addiction Therapists in Boynton Beach, FL.

I believe that the notion of "addictive personalities" is nonsense. There are important differences between drug addiction and so-called internet addiction, for example. I know that addictions arise for many reasons, and that we may never understand most of those reasons. Happily, people can and do overcome addictions without having to understand all of its mysterious causes. 12-step programs are popular, but I reject the idea that we must surrender control of our behavior to a higher power in order to solve these problems. Building solutions for addictions is not very different from building solutions to other problems. We need only use our existing strengths in ways that make sense.

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.

Rooted in a holistic approach, I believe that addiction stems from early-life adversity and trauma, causing individuals to seek belonging in substances or behaviors. I emphasize the importance of compassion, self-acceptance, and addressing underlying pain as key components of recovery.

Healing trauma through experiential therapy can be rewarding and life changing. I have an advanced degree in addiction treatment and prevention studies. In working with me you will be treated with respect. You will learn to tolerate difficult emotions.

I worked in adolescent and adult PHP/IOP/OP rehabilitation centers for individuals diagnosed with a substance use disorder, and/or a co-occurring diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, eating disorder, trauma or other mental health issues. I used various proven therapy techniques to help my clients learn new coping behaviors, learn how to stop impulsive behaviors, and recognize how their thinking influenced their behavior. I provided family counseling to help mend the broken relationships. I work with clients who are following the 12 Steps, The Matrix Model or another type of approach to recovery. In private practice I continue to work with clients who are in recovery, or seeking therapy to

In addition, substance dependence needs to be assessed and treated in a holistic manner taking into account biological, psychological, social, and developmental facets of an individuals life.
