Addiction Therapists in Oxford, NC.

Addiction therapy is a sub-specialty area in psychology, and thus many therapists do not treat addiction. At Lepage Associates we have psychologists who specialize in addiction therapy. In addition, one of our psychologists also works as a research psychologist in the field of addiction, researching which therapeutic interventions are most effective in treating substance abuse. As an active international research scientist, she has authored numerous journal articles, scholarly papers, and book chapters on the assessment and treatment of substance abuse, trauma, risky sexual behaviors, and violence, and increasing motivation for self-care and self-improvement.

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.

Therapy can be a great tool to support men and women in overcoming chemical (substances) and process (behavioral) addictions and regaining control of a healthy lifestyle. I have supported clients in working through addictions including alcoholism, drug abuse, compulsive pornography use, and compulsive cell phone and gaming use. I will discuss a plan to help you identify the emotional components of your addictive cycle, increase social support and accountability, develop new habits that support refraining from using, and having a clear long term plan for freedom. Call or email me today and we will discuss your needs and the support I can provide.

Whether the addiction lies with substance abuse (alcohol and other drugs), eating disorders (binge/purge/food issues: emotional eating) or even enmeshment to another kind of habit or person, our therapists provide a safe and confidential environment seeking to help the client heal. We do not participate in Substance Abuse Treatment (drug screens etc).

Our licensed clinicians work with clients to navigate the difficulties associated with substance use.

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.
