Addiction Therapists in Knightdale, NC.

I've had extensive training and experience with addiction treatment. I now specialize in eating disorders and find that many of my clients have been recovering for some time from alcohol/drugs before being ready to address and resolve their addiction to food. I have come to know that food is a drug most available early in our lives and thus, if used to manage mood and escape the pain of our childhood, takes on the same nature as the chemical addiction. The recovery, because of needed regular contact, calls for a different approach. I don't use the abstinence model because of the resistance and weight -loss focus. I use the non-diet and intuitive eating/movement approach in my program.

Our licensed clinicians work with clients to navigate the difficulties associated with substance use. At Mindly, we utilize proven effective treatments to help people overcome difficulties substance use is causing in their lives. Cognitive behavior therapy in particular is an effective treatment and can also help develop more effective ways to manage stress.

Couples in recovery have special needs as they forge a life of sobriety together. Learn what to expect and develop tools to avoid common pitfalls faced by couples in recovery. Whether one or both of you are in recovery, you can make sure you know what to do as you move forward in your recovery together. If you are comparing your relationship to that of couples not facing the issues of sobriety, you are missing critical perspective. Gain helpful perspective together through counseling.

I have additional education in addiction counseling/treatment and my approach is warm, compassionate, and non-confrontational. If you think you have a substance use disorder or other addiction, my services may be of benefit to you. Outpatient therapy is often used in conjunction with other services such as 12-step meetings, intensive out-patient, etc. I welcome anyone who thinks they may have any form of addiction.
