Addiction Therapists in North Castle, NY.

I specialize in addiction. That includes all addictions: food, relationships, work, drugs/alcohol. We can become enslaved by many things. My approach is to provide the life skills, reframing negative thinking patterns and learning to realize he life is amazing when your not imprisoned by your addiction.

Addictions are a very painful form of emotional and physical suffering that can lead people into having profound feelings of shame and guilt and an unyielding sense of inadequacy and failure. The individual may have tried innumerable times on their own to stop the compulsive and driven pressures occurring in their addictions only to find discouragement and feelings of failure when addictive behaviors relentlessly continue. One often finds that relationships and jobs may deteriorate or even be lost from the preoccupation with the addiction, and legal problems may occur. If you or a loved one finds they are suffering from an addiction, please seek addiction therapy.

For those struggling with addiction, every day can feel like an uphill battle. Substance use can impact every area of your life, including relationships, family life, work, and finances. Things can begin to feel out of control and hopeless. We work with teens, adults, couples, and families to help them regain control, learn coping skills, manage triggers, and help rebuild relationships. We are available for a free 15 minute phone consultation to determine whether substance abuse counseling with us is right for you - to schedule, send an email to info@nassauwellness.com or call/text (516) 387-5143.

Addiction can take many shapes and forms. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, relationships, shopping, gambling, food or sex have become a symptom of a society looking to escape from our pain. Fear of facing these facts can be overwhelming and denying to our addictions will continue to cause pain. Finally facing our addictions is not something that we have to do alone.

My approach to clients with addiction issues depends on the nature of the addiction (alcohol and drugs, gambling, internet, smoking, and other compulsive behaviors). Treatment includes addressing the client's denial, employing cognitive behavior therapy, sending clients to AA or NA, and may also involve bringing in members of the client's family to help clients understand the ramifications of their addictions and the necessity to change.

You or a family member or loved one are suffering with addiction. When one person suffers, those who care about that person also suffer. It is rare to find treatment that is caring but also sets limits, and that does not assume an individual needs to "hit bottom", which can be dangerous. Instead, the individual needs to be challenged while being loved. This takes many forms, depending on the individual and the situation. With a lifetime of meditation and training in Eastern awareness, as well as years as a psychotherapist, I have helped bring individuals back from the brink of self-destruction. With connection, the dangers of addiction recede. Find connection and come back to a true life.

Addiction Recovery is one of the primary specializations at Courage to Change. Many of our coaches identify as recovered or as family members of recovered people. We take a very indepth approach to the treatment of both substance and behavioral addictions (gambling, sex, media, co-dependency) looking at the whole person and how addicted brain effects each area of life. We embrace both harm reduction and traditional 12 step approaches as well as Christian based approaches to healing. We are not here to judge, we've been through it, we recovered, and now we're here to help in any way possible. We work in office, telehealth, and in community to serve those who are struggling.

Addiction can be a powerful driver of actions and thoughts that can disrupt your life and those of your loved ones. As a therapist that specializes in work with couples but also works with individuals, my goal is to help you understand the roots and triggers of your addiction so that I can give you the tools to adjust and modify your behavior. When you're ready to become the best possible version of yourself, let's talk.

There are therapists at Anchored Counseling that specialize in addictions and understand how difficult it can be. Our therapists treat you with kindness and respect. We will work with you to uncover the cause, give you strategies to help you cope, and help you discover the tools to keep you sober. Addiction is difficult, but can be easier if you have the support you need.

I began my career working outpatient with alcoholics, addicts, and their families. Though I believe that the 12 steps offer a full and complete basis for recovery, I also acknowledge that the help of a professional can be beneficial as well, particularly in early recovery or at later stages when life gets very "real". In early recovery, the information can be overwhelming, and having a professional to help sort things out is super helpful. In later recovery, we often develop some unrealistic expectations that need to be right-sized.

The purpose of Addiction Counseling is to help the client identify for him or herself if there is an addiction present. If this is the case, a variety of cognitive behavioral techniques are utilized as well as mindfulness exercises to help with focusing and how to cope with difficult emotions in healthy ways to become abstinent. In addition, there is a focus on stengths, and what the client has done in the past to abstain from using the substance of choice. Thus, the client can try and implement at least some of these techniques again and stay away from triggers and past negative behaviors that led to relapse. There is also focus on self-esteem building and how to prevent relapse in the future once the client is abstinent.

Addiction often develops as a response to stresses in life that we have previously struggled to cope with. Though it serves a purpose, eventually this strategy no longer protects us and may lead to further struggles, physically, interpersonally and within our daily lives. Together we will work to understand your patterns, triggers, and develop new methods for living a life of ease. Compassion and understanding are essential to finding new ways of being. My approach for supporting those struggling with addiction is heavily person centered, believing that you have the innate power and ability to grow into the life you hope for.

When working with someone with an addiction, it will be important to discuss the many facets of their addiction, including their triggers for use, the life they are living currently, and how their addiction has impacted them. We will talk about each of these concepts when working together, and discussing what the future would look like for them. When reducing or abstaining from use, it involves a loss of familiarity, of people, places, and it would be important for us to work together to discuss that change, and how to process it together.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.

Addiction refers to anything that has become harmful or prevents you from reaching your ideal life - drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, self-harming, etc. I am coming from a sanctuary based, harm-reduction clinic which is ingrained in my approach to addiction. It means I value honesty in this process. I am not about forcing immediate sobriety or shaming you during relapse. It means I recognize and encourage your efforts and your small steps, even if they feel really small. fit. I want to focus on why YOU want to change and not why others told you you need to quit and I want to plan based on your environment and life circumstances to better assure progress.
