Top addiction therapists in 63084: Union, MO.

We currently are living in a world in which the word "addiction" is cast about carelessly. Addiction, simply put "is an ongoing, out-of-control pattern of compulsive...behavior that is causing problem in...life (Sex Addiction 101, Weiss. p.1). As the definition indicates almost anything can become an addiction - food, gambling, substance abuse, alcohol, sex, and work to name just a few. My approach as a therapist is to get to the root desire or wound that drives addictive behavior. Once identified, this is where the real work and real change take place.

Addiction can take many different forms in our lives. From career to pornography, addiction can be all consuming and if left unchecked can destroy families and lives. By helping you to think differently about how you see yourself and the possible reasons you are struggling, I want to help you work through the issues at the core of your addiction and help you learn to cope in a new way.
