" Therapy & coaching compliment each other. Therapy focuses on addressing past traumas & mental health concerns... while coaching focuses on helping individuals achieve future goals & optimize their performance in specific areas. One often
involves exploring the root causes of problems, helping clients process emotions & develop coping mechanisms... the other focuses on setting & achieving goals in the present & future, leveraging strengths, action-oriented strategies & resources for personal & professional development. "

Change
We are here to help clients discuss their substance use in a non-judgmental manner. We help identify if there is a substance abuse issue, provide support, education, & help develop change if a client decides to modify behaviors or remain abstinent.
​
We view substance abuse counseling as the metaphor of a hiker & a guide. We help address the symptoms of addiction & related areas of impaired functioning. We will help develop a foundation of recovery & establish structure in our client's life while developing motivation & mindfulness in daily living.
​
We focus on behavioral change and incorporate foundations of SMART Recovery, 12 step-idiology & tools for recovery, family/social support, & self-help participation.
​
Examples of counseling areas we have worked with:
​
* Alcohol Use/Abuse/Dependence
* Substance Use Abuse/Dependence
* Education & Evaluation
* Individual Support
* Family & Couples Supportive Counseling
