Top addiction therapists in 21770: Monrovia, MD.

Addictions can be so difficult to manage and come out of nowhere. When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the addictive distress that you are experiencing. As I get to know you, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging experiences you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Addictions can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you get to where you wish to be.

Addiction treatment is often as much about cessation or reduction of usage as it is the "why" of the usage. I do my best to balance both sides while keeping the perspective of what ultimately the client wants and needs. Often this involves finding ways to get what is meaningful and reduce what isn't, such as substances. Accountability and insight are extremely important in this treatment. But if you have the desire to actually make the changes, that goes a long way.

We can provide supportive therapy to the recovery process, by identifying activity in the brain that have been affected by substance use (or that perhaps even caused it!), and then treating to fortify against relapse. For example, many of the superior recovery programs around the country provide alpha brainwave training, since this has proven effective at deterring recidivism; we use this extensively with the recovering population, to effect much greater outcomes. We will work collaboratively with your therapist, or provide the therapy ourselves, and encourage 12 step work, meetings (where beneficial), and brain rehabilitation, towards maximal chances of full recovery and success.

In a relaxing and productive session, you will learn how to repattern and take charge of your mind and body. We no longer use labeling words like "addict" or "alcoholic" or "relapse" or "recovery". We don't view it as an incurable disease. We teach you the psycho-social-neuro perspective of addiction. We teach terms like living optimally and re-patterning. We view permanent behavior change as a byproduct of reaching deep levels of neural patterning that change your belief system. Genetics may influence some of us but the answers to heal and live well are the same for everyone no matter who your relatives were! Learn how to live optimally and call today.

Addictions range from alcohol and drugs to internet, money, gambling and many other challenges. Do you find yourself struggling to get back on your feet only to fall right back down on your face even harder than the last fall. You cannot do it alone. Willpower is helpful but it is not enough for many forms of addiction. It is time for you to admit that you need help and support to get to recovery.

At Counseling Solutions, LLC, I treat substance abuse utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and 12-Step Principles. Individuals who are experiencing life problems due to their alcohol or drug use are appropriate for these types of outpatient, weekly therapy. The substance use may be impairing relationships, job performance, health, or a general sense of well-being. For those who require detoxification due to withdrawal symptoms, it is essential that a period of closely monitored inpatient treatment and/or a period of residential treatment be completed prior to outpatient therapy

Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything. Having worked in many healthcare settings, I am familiar navigating life-changing events and grief. I understand the territory of encountering loss, coping with trauma, the complexity of the medical system and living with illness. These issues can have ripple effects on your relationships, sense of self and perceptions of the world. I know how complex things can get, and I will support you during this process.

I started out 38 years ago working mainly with addictions. One of my highest success levels is in addictions. Of-course, addiction comes in many styles and forms, but they have a lot in common. Many addictions are a poor attempt to cover up something one is wanting to run or hide from. It does not take long to find that out by just listening to you. Then we go to work resolving that hang-up. I have learned the power of listening, it, in and of itself is a great healer.

Many people attempt to avoid painful issues by taking pills, powders, or liquids and then waiting for the desired effect - an alteration of their consciousness. There are more positive ways to alter consciousness without turning to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, television, work, or any other activity that when used to excess, has a destructive impact on your life. Learning to change your mood by healthier more active methods involves some effort and motivation on your part but recovery from addiction is possible. We have experienced substance abuse professionals to help you make the changes you want to make

Addiction is an intense yearning to again and again experience the effects of repeating a behavior or using a substance. Whether it is alcohol addiction or internet addiction, the loss of control and the constant cravings affect one’s physical health, emotional well-being, and social life. The goal of therapy is to help you break the current routine - to help you develop and practice strategies for impulse control and build a healthy, balanced, productive, and rewarding lifestyle.

Are you wondering if your use of alcohol and/or other chemical substances is beginning to take control of your life? Chances are you started drinking or using so that you could cope with life, but now you're finding that it's getting harder and harder to cope. It can be overwhelming to think about quitting and staying quit. I can help you to assess your chemical use and decide what, if any, changes you need to make. I also offer an ear acupuncture treatment that lessens cravings and withdrawal symptoms while also helping to manage depression and anxiety.
