Addiction Psychotherapy

Addiction is more than physical dependence—it involves deeply rooted emotional, psychological, and social factors. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and non-confrontational, providing a space where you can explore the underlying causes of your substance use with support and understanding.

In therapy, we will examine how addiction has functioned in your life, including the ways it may have provided relief from stress, numbed emotional pain, or helped you navigate difficult experiences. We will also explore past and present relationships, unresolved conflicts, and patterns of thinking that contribute to substance use. My goal is to help you recognize connections between your addiction and personal experiences, fostering greater self-awareness and insight.

As we work together, you will gain a deeper understanding of the emotions and motivations driving your substance use. Rather than focusing solely on stopping the behavior, therapy will help you develop healthier coping mechanisms, build emotional resilience, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships.

This process takes time and is tailored to your individual needs and goals. The frequency and duration of treatment will depend on what works best for you. My role is to provide guidance, support, and practical tools to help you move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life—one where addiction no longer serves as a coping mechanism.
