Top addiction therapists in 32754: Mims, FL.

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.

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.
