Top addiction therapists in 41016: Covington, KY.

Dealing with an addiction is a burden not to be tackled alone. If you decide to meet with me about your addiction, you and I will work together on the underlying issues driving your addiction. I will give you tools to help you cope so you may be less likely to relapse. I do require that you enlist the help of others through 12-step groups such as AA, NA, or Celebrate Recovery to connect you with others who are walking through the same life circumstances you are and provide you with daily accountability. Please note that I am not a certified chemical dependency counselor.

There are so many forms of addictions and I am willing to guess that the one YOU have been struggling with has really taken its toll on just about every area of your life and you have HAD it. My approach is to use the training and experience I have, including EMDR and Narrative, to provide relief from the anxiety, stress and low self esteem which drives the negative and destructive cycles that make your life so difficult. I'm excited! Let's get started!

Addiction is not a moral or character flaw, but rather a symptom resulting from the interaction of individual and family characteristics with society at large. It is essential to work on the internalized stigma that people with substance use disorders have. I provide individual and family counseling tailored to the specific situation, and refer for medication-assisted therapy when available.
