What is "Alcohol and drug counseling"?

Substance Use Counseling is a type of therapy that helps individuals and their loved ones manage alcohol and/or drug misuse. It involves working with our counselors to identify the root causes of misuse, develop healthy coping strategies and help create a plan for recovery.  The goal of substance use counseling is to help individuals and their families cope with and manage the misuse of drugs and alcohol and to develop strategies to maintain recovery.  It is a safe and confidential space where individuals and their loved ones can receive support and genuine guidance on the journey to recovery. We provide a safe and supportive environment to explore the root causes of substance misuse and work to improve the overall quality of life.

Individual Counseling

We'll meet one-on-one in a safe, private, comfortable office. Your privacy and confidentiality are guaranteed! Unless there are serious and immediate concerns for your safety, what we discuss is protected by Federal law. 

Group Counseling

Being part of a group can provide a sense of community and support, as well as a safe space to share experiences and feelings. Group members can offer each other encouragement, accountability, and practical advice for overcoming addiction. 

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is paying attention, on purpose, without judgement. It's that last one that's the hardest! Mindfulness is a tool and practice that is incredibly useful in working with trauma, chronic pain, depression, and way more!

Couples & Family Counseling

By involving both partners in the treatment process, we can address any underlying issues that may be contributing to addiction. We provide a supportive environment for both partners to develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Integrative Counseling

Believe it or not, not everything works for everybody! We pull techniques from several evidence-based approaches to healing to build an approach that works specifically for you and your goals. Integrative counseling is all about meeting you where you're at!

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

"CBT" is one of the gold standards of therapy. It's based on the idea that our thoughts effect our emotions, which in turn effect our behavior and vice-versa. If we learn to notice and work with our thoughts, that has a big impact on how we feel and what we're able to do. 

About me

Hi, I’m Kathy.  I’m passionate about helping individuals and their families who are struggling with substance use or addictive behaviors to recognize in themselves a different way to deal with life's difficulties. If you have found yourself escaping from your day to day life with the help of substances or other unhealthy behaviors, and now struggle with the fear, resentment, anger or embarrassment that are associated with these behaviors, I want to be a part of your change.
