I offer integrative and trauma-informed treatment for substance abuse/addiction while holding a non-judgmental, compassionate perspective. While sessions are tailored to meet the needs of the individual, some general goals of treatment may include the following:
- Identifying the underlying factors contributing to ongoing substance abuse, including mental health concerns and current life stressors.
- Assisting each individual in clarifying needs and the role of substances in your life.
- Harm reduction and/or relapse prevention planning.
- Identifying using cues and triggers in addition to useful coping skills to help manage these triggers.
- Addressing any relevant guilt/shame.
- Stabilization and modification of daily routines including eating and sleeping patterns.
- Addressing relationship problems and concerns, including with friends, family, or work-related.
- Identifying a support system.
- Stress management and treatment for mental health conditions/concerns.
