Top addiction therapists in 80547: Timnath, CO.

Addictions are always a statement of personal entitlement, "I can do this and I do not care how it affects you." When acting through your addiction you give the people around you the message that you are important and they are not. I deal with people who live with addictions with firm, clear, loving confrontations. I can help you deal with your grandiosity even if you do not recognize it when you first come in. I can help you find your humility and accept responsibilty for the pain and harm you have caused in relationships. When you deal with it straight on you can have access to the deepest layers of your self-esteem and to your core value. You will move from pretense into authentic life.

In working with addiction, I take a non-pathologizing approach, viewing it as a response rather than a personal flaw or failing. Together, we explore how addiction may have become a part of your story, examining the needs and experiences it has been trying to address. Using a collaborative, narrative approach, we work to identify values, strengths, and alternative ways to meet those needs that align with who you prefer to be. This process allows you to reclaim your sense of agency and reconnect with a life that reflects your deeper intentions and goals.
