Just like mental health, addiction and substance use are areas that many people struggle with regardless of their socioeconomic status, level of education, or racial demographic. These individuals may have built a dependence on behaviors (e.g., shopping, gambling, pornography, work, etc.) or substances as a way to help manage life stressors, only to find that it has taken control over their lives, negatively impacting their ability to function or build meaningful relationships.
If you’re struggling with behavioral or substance addictions, we want to work with you to address any underlying trauma, emotional distress, depression or anxiety and equip you to overcome them without an unhealthy reliance on maladaptive behaviors. This can look like learning how to identify and manage triggers, replacing poor coping practices with healthy coping skills, building social support networks and rediscovering your innate sense of worth and identity.
