Top addiction therapists in 27880: Sims, NC.

Dr. Miller offers counseling for those who are suffering from addictions. 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).

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.

Our licensed clinicians work with clients to navigate the difficulties associated with substance use. At Mindly, we utilize proven effective treatments to help people overcome difficulties substance use is causing in their lives. Cognitive behavior therapy in particular is an effective treatment and can also help develop more effective ways to manage stress.
