Addiction Therapy
From discovery to recovery, we offer therapy to support substance misuse, abuse, and addiction.
Understanding Your Relationship to Substances
In addiction therapy, we take a compassionate, collaborative approach to understanding your relationship with substances. Rather than focusing on blame or shame, we begin with the belief that all behavior is reasonable and adaptive when understood in context.
Together, we’ll explore how substances may have once served a purpose—helping you cope, numb pain, or survive emotional overwhelm. But we’ll also gently examine the ways those coping strategies may no longer serve you, or may be causing harm in your relationships, health, or sense of self.
Through emotional processing, you’ll begin to access and express the experiences and feelings that substances may have been masking. With greater awareness comes choice—allowing you to redefine your relationship with substances and begin building a more grounded, connected life.
What Addiction Therapy Looks Like
Addiction therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor treatment to your unique story and needs, offering:
- Individual therapy to process trauma, emotions, and patterns tied to substance use
- Couples counseling to repair relational ruptures and rebuild trust
- Family therapy to address systemic patterns, codependency, or intergenerational issues
Whether you’re early in your recovery or further along, therapy can support not only sobriety—but also meaning, identity, and connection in your life moving forward.
The Opposite of Addiction is Connection
Addiction is often rooted in isolation, disconnection, and pain that hasn’t been fully acknowledged.
We now understand—through neuroscience and attachment theory—that lasting recovery is not just about willpower. It’s about safe, secure connection: to yourself, to others, and to your emotional world. In addiction therapy, we help you rebuild that foundation. We focus not only on reducing harm or achieving sobriety, but on healing the deeper wounds that may have driven substance use in the first place.
Your path may not be linear, but you don’t have to walk it alone.
