Top addiction therapists in 40003: Bagdad, KY.

I offer counseling for alcohol and substance abuse/dependency. I work with individuals to understand their addiction and identify triggers to prevent relapse. I want my clients to feel empowered and back in control of their lives; therefore you will learn specific skillset that will help you take back that control. The most common approach I use is cognitive behavior therapy (CBT); where you will learn how to identify your moods, situations, and thoughts that cause cravings. We will work together to counter these triggers with healthy coping skills. I strive to create an environment where you will feel safe and comfortable to work through your emotional struggles.

Addiction is harmful and destructive to the user and to those in relationship to them. Many definitions and pictures come to mind when describing the “addict.” What does the "drunk" look like? What would you see if you saw a "drug addict?" Addiction is no respecter of persons - race, color, socio-economic background or profession. Non-substance related addictions create similar problems. These include gambling, pornograpy, over-working, over-spending etc. Addiction is often a symptom of the real issue or problem. Sometimes the symptom is treated without getting to the root or origin of the addiction. Understanding, growth & healing are possible in moving past the storms created by addiction.

What do you do when the very thing you have been using to help you feel better suddenly becomes the thing that is destroying your relationships and life? Most addictive behaviors begin as an attempt to help us feel better. In time, however, these coping skills can become an even larger issue than the one we were trying to manage. When the ability to choose begins to evaporate and life begins to feel unmanageable, it is time to consider a new way of managing your anxieties. Helping you find a better way to connect with your Self, Others and the God of your understanding is an intricate part of the work we do at Chrysalis Connections. When you are ready. We will be here.
