Top addiction therapists in North Hill Manor, Fort Worth.

As a therapist who has worked with both teens and adults with substance use disorders and addiction for years, I can say I truly enjoy being a part of the healing that takes place in recovery. Addiction is still one of the most stigmatized mental health issues, and still somehow seen as a personal flaw more so than a brain process. Healing from addiction requires someone that has the experience to know when to empathize, and when to challenge and it takes a therapist with a ton of patience and compassion to be comfortable reaching into the darkest parts. Addiction is not your fault, but recovery becomes your responsibility and it helps to have an ally willing to go there with you.

Dependence on chemicals (such as alcohol or drugs) or behaviors (such as sex, gambling, spending, etc) can begin to limit our choices in life. When the line is crossed to dependency or addiction, there is a hopeless and frustrating feeling that will come over us. Please understand that there is a way through this and you do not have to continue to suffer. If your use of the drugs, alcohol or behavior is costing you, know that there is a solution and counseling will help you figure out a plan to address the issue.
