Top addiction therapists in Chatham, Chicago.

Addictions often take over a persons life even though behaviors may have been manageable and less frequent at one point in time. We can use counseling sessions to identify why you are using the addictive behavior and how it is harmful in your life as keys to recovery and treatment. We can begin to find healthy alternatives for coping that result in much less stress and damage to your self and those around you. Addictions often take a tool on health, relationships, finances, and happiness and therapy can help restore that with the use of recovery-based treatment approaches.

I work with what is called process addictions including food, gambling, work, sexual, and relationship addictions. My hope is to help the person become healthy and understand the need that is leading to the addiction and constructive ways to meet those needs. Often it is about balance and learning limits and coping with those limits. The goal is to help the client move from addiction to freedom from addiction.

Psychotherapy for addictions can be very helpful. Clients typically come to us after they have received a higher level of care, or sometimes start out with seeing us for a co-occurring mental health concern. Our providers help clients stay on the path of abstaining from their addiction. Treating underlying concerns and providing coping skills can help this process. Having a support system with someone you can trust talking with can mean the difference in treating the addiction effectively. It's also very helpful to seek therapy for yourself when a loved one has an addiction. Getting the support you need in this process is equally as important as the one with the addiction.
