Top addiction therapists in 55360: Mayer, MN.

Whether you are struggling with sex addiction, chemical addiction, alcholol abuse or a behavioral addiction like shopping, psychotehrapy can help you get in contriol of your life. Addiction is a way that people escape bad feelings. Psychotherapy for addictions can help you get your life back, a life where you are in control and not the addiction.

If you are feeling controlled by your addiction and feel like you are losing your quality of life, I provide individual therapy for various addictions such as food and alcohol. While in therapy you can begin to learn about this out of control aspect of yourself. Addictions are a sign of a need for help and intervention. Coming to understand what this part of your life serves for you and it's destructiveness is part of the healing. Often shame, grief and depression inhibit the ability to reach out for help. Breaking this cylce and reaching out for professional help can be the first step to change.

I use PIT and DART work for addiction. I believe that addiction is a symptom of family of origin issues. My work helps clients take a deeper dive into how their negative patterns got started. Clients address the core issues, such as self-esteem, boundaries, moderation, reality and attachment. By building a better relationship with themselves, clients become more capable of fulfilling connected relationships with others.

"Sexual addiction" (Out of Control Sexual Behavior) is a common thing many people struggle with in their lives. It can feel that their attractions, behaviors, thoughts, satisfaction levels, and/or relationships revolve around their sexuality, often causing struggles within important relationships(i.e., primary committed relationship) or aspects (i.e., job) of their lives. Working with my clients thru a sex-positive lens we process what ways a person can honor their sexuality without causing harm or stress to those around them, in their life or on different aspects within it.
