Addiction Therapists in Dallas, TX.

Addiction comes in many different forms but a key common component is the inability to change actions and behaviors so as to successfully make changes to move forward. Therapy can be an important tool in combination with other support structures to develop the coping and life skills to obtain positive outcomes free from the addiction. In counseling we can work together with other resources and support structures to find ways to overcome the dependencies that lead to addiction and create upheaval in our lives.

I view addiction as an attempt to make something better, or less bad, that has gotten out of control over time. Self-medication gone wild. This isn't about just saying no. It's not about helplessness. It's about identifying what need it was meant to address and finding a way to meet it without the hassle. Often the addictive behavior fades away once that need has been met.
