Addiction Therapists in Ridgeland, 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.

Dr. Mary Cumming specializes in addiction therapy using an integrated Christian counseling approach grounded in scripture alongside CBT, family systems, and object-relations therapy. She addresses substance, behavioral, and process addictions with compassion, focusing on underlying trauma, shame, and family patterns. clients benefit from personalized tools for sobriety, relapse prevention, identity renewal in Christ, and restored relationships, experiencing freedom, hope, and practical strategies to break cycles and embrace wholeness.

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.
