Addiction Therapists in Bluffton, SC.

I work with those suffering from addiction problems as an adjunct counselor. Most of my clients with these problems are also in a helping organization such as AA. My approach to addictions is that they are responses to anxiety. I use energy techniques to help with cravings. I also encourage positive life-style changes. Often sessions in my office are excellent one on one supplements to the group experience and offer further accountability to clients.

Overcoming addiction is a long and often discouraging process. In my past experience with addiction counseling, I've seen inspiring successes and disappointing relapses. If you are reading this and have a history with addiction, I am sure you know on a personal level what I am talking about. You also know that ultimately it is up to you to overcome your addiction. So, it would be reasonable for you to ask, "how could you help?" I can offer accountability, strategies and structure, but mostly I can believe in you. There is no place so low that you cannot come back from it, and I don't believe in lost causes.
