At Thriveworks we use evidence based approaches to assist clients with their maladaptive behaviors. Clients can expect help with problematic substance use behaviors like alcohol and drugs use, as well as process addictions such as pornography addiction, sexual addiction, online gaming addiction, and gambling addiction. We meet the client where they are in the recovery process, and utilize a harm reduction model. Common modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, and 12-step recovery approaches. Clients will learn new coping skills to increase their quality of life.

At the root of addiction is deep emotional pain. With that kind of pain, of course a person wants to "numb out" or forget for a little while. Others with that kind of pain distract themselves with busy-ness, taking care of everyone else (codependency), overworking, doing computer games excessively, gambling, viewing pornography, and countless other compulsive behaviors. Without treating the root cause-- deep emotional pain-- people with addictions will relapse again and again. Work with a therapist trained in EMDR trauma therapy to resolve the root cause. Nothing else works to resolve emotional trauma like EMDR therapy. Visit EMDRIA's website or give me a call to explain how it works.
