Addiction/Recovery Therapy

Addiction and Recovery Therapy for Adults

Nonjudgmental, Evidence-Based Support for Substance Use and Recovery

Struggling with alcohol or substance use can feel complicated.

You may feel stuck between wanting change and not knowing where to begin. You may feel ashamed, overwhelmed, defensive, or unsure whether your use is “serious enough” to seek help.

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all.

Some people pursue abstinence.
Others want to reduce harm, build safer patterns, or understand their relationship with substances more clearly.

Wherever you are, we want to meet you there.

Addiction and recovery therapy can support you with:

Alcohol or substance misuse
Binge or episodic use
Relapse cycles
Cravings and urges
Shame and secrecy
Co-occurring mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, or trauma
Rebuilding trust in relationships
Developing healthier coping strategies

You do not have to commit to a specific outcome before starting therapy. We begin with your goals, not someone else’s definition of recovery.

Recovery Can Look Different for Everyone

For some, recovery means complete abstinence.

For others, it means harm reduction such as reducing use, increasing safety, understanding triggers, or building alternatives to substance-based coping.

Both paths require honesty, skill-building, and support.

Therapy isn’t about control or punishment.
It’s about helping you:

Understand the function substance use serves in your life
Build skills to tolerate distress without relying on substances
Strengthen motivation for change
Reduce shame and self-criticism
Create a recovery plan that aligns with your values
Our goal is to help you move toward stability, clarity, and self-trust – at a pace that feels sustainable.

Our Approach to Addiction and Recovery Therapy

We provide individualized therapy that is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices.

We won’t shame you.
We won’t pressure you into a path you’re not ready for.
And we won’t minimize the real risks of ongoing substance use.

Depending on your needs, therapy may include:

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
CBT strategies for substance use patterns
DBT-based distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills
Relapse prevention planning
Harm reduction strategies
Trauma-informed care
Exploration of meaning, values, and personal growth

You set the goals. We build the structure together.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Your first session is a space to talk honestly about your relationship with substances – without judgment.

You can:

Share what feels out of control
Talk about ambivalence or mixed feelings about change
Clarify what recovery means to you
Ask questions about abstinence and/or harm-reduction approaches

You do not have to label yourself.
You do not have to promise anything.
We start with where you are.
