Top addiction therapists in 40078: Willisburg, KY.

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.

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.

When someone comes into our office struggling with out-of-control sexual behaviors. We assess for comorbid conditions and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or bipolar disorder, to name a few. We don’t fixate on the sexual behavior, and we encourage the client to consider their own values about their sexuality. We approach our work from a strength-based and sex positive position and not from one defined from pathology and disease. Further, our clinicians honor and respect the values and beliefs of the client and refrain from ever imposing our beliefs and views on the client. If you’re struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior or being labeled a “sex addict,”, contact us today.
