Top addiction therapists in 32720: Deland, FL.

Any addiction is a primary disease. It has to be dealt with first. If it isn’t, no psychological healing or spiritual growth can happen. I encourage abstinence from your addictive substance or process. People benefit from desensitizing Relapse Triggers, healing memories and tools to avoid relapse. Psychotherapy with me includes these, but goes much further. I believe all addictions are symptoms of addiction to our thoughts. Example, “I need…, I want…”. It is repeatedly thinking the same thought in spite of its negative consequences. We break this cycle with tools:present moment awareness,noticing your real needs, shifting negative core beliefs and using a plan of recovery.

The goal for any client struggling with addiction issues is not just sobriety, but learning to cope with life's challenges without using drugs, alcohol or some other "distraction" to avoid the pain of life. Using the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, changing our distorted and negative thoughts and behavior, we are able to stop avoiding and remain "in the moment" and begin to live the life that we deserve and desire.

Rooted in a holistic approach, I believe that addiction stems from early-life adversity and trauma, causing individuals to seek belonging in substances or behaviors. I emphasize the importance of compassion, self-acceptance, and addressing underlying pain as key components of recovery. I do not agree with this cultures approach of criminalizing drug use and clearly see how this belief has done a disservice to people who ultimately need healing. Healing trauma through experiential therapy can be rewarding and life changing. I have an advanced degree in addiction treatment and prevention studies. In working with me you will be treated with respect. You will learn to tolerate difficult emotions.

Addictions have a physical and an emotional component. And now we know from Neuroscience how the brain is affected by addictions. If we only deal with the symptoms of addiction, we are coping at best. But if we can understand and address the pain underneath that feeds the addiction, we can experience true healing. Don't just white knuckle through, I'll help you work towards true healing!
