Top addiction therapists in 49228: Blissfield, MI.

I recognize that the most important aspect to an effective therapeutic treatment is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. Through this collaborative approach, the client and I identify their strengths and build on these characteristics through therapy. We identify areas in the individuals’ life which are not useful or producing an undesirable outcome-such as self-destructive behavior, poor communication skills, etc.

We use a client centered approach, supplementing individual therapy with family treatment and group therapy as appropriate. We address substance abuse and other addictions, and have therapists who have completed certificates in sexual health. We are in the process of becoming certified for gambling addiction treatment through the State of Michigan. For opiate and other substance addictions, we work closely with a medical doctor who treats addictions. We have offered alternatives to traditional Intensive Outpatient Programs, creating individualized intensive treatment programs utilizing individual, family and group treatment.

Addictions can make you behave in a way that is unlike your normal nature and cause multiple problems with family, school, work, social and spiritual aspects of life. When you are stuck in addictive thoughts and behaviors recovery can seem impossible. I have extensive training and experience in substance addictions, including opiate addictions. Therapy is often needed to learn coping skills to maintain long term recovery of addictions. My approach is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and will compel you to desire lasting change in your life.

Life experiences are often waves of ups and downs. Addiction is no different. If you are experiencing highs and lows, confusion of where to go next, and struggling to keep on track, give me a call. We can discuss coping skills to maintaining your sobriety and developing a toolbox of overcoming the struggle of reverting to what may feel comfortable in the moment.
