Addiction Therapists in Wilton Manors, FL.

I have seen addiction in many different forms throughout my career and understand the common threads that cause addiction to manifest. I usually find that a person who struggles with addiction is highly sensitive to the world around them, and was never taught adequate coping skills to effectively cope with difficulties. As a result, they use their addiction to "numb out" and avoid thinking about the pain they are feeling. My approach to this type of issue is to truly understand my clients and the factors that shaped who they are today. Then we work together to identify unhealthy patterns and empower them to use more healthy and effective coping skills to manage their lives.

Suffering from addictions is an intense personal struggle that can keep you from living the life that you want. I offer clients support and guidance through their journey in recovery. I help clients to develop healthier ways of dealing with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, and anger. I work with clients on finding ways to develop greater personal strength that is needed in order to live a life free of addiction. Together I work with clients towards developing new health promoting patterns to replace the addiction. I help clients to begin to develop personal compassion and to recognize the strength and positive qualities that are already inside of them.

I have over 10 years experience working with addictions including time as a clinical director for treatment programs. In my current practice, I work with those exploring if they may have a substance abuse problem or those who consider themselves to be high-functioning but abusing substances. I will do an assessment with you to determine the extent of the problem, and make appropriate recommendations. I also work with those in early recovery who want to understand how to cope with life sober and resolve long standing issues that contributed to the addiction.

Addictions stem from a complex mix of issues and internal processes, becoming habitual coping mechanisms that can spiral out of control. They impact finances, careers, relationships, and health, creating a cycle that feels impossible to break. At Renew Center of Florida, we address the root causes of addiction and empower individuals and families with effective coping tools to break free from the grip of addiction and build healthier lives. https://www.therenewcenter.com/addiction-counseling-boca-raton
