Therapy for Addiction

Breaking Free from the Chains of Addiction and Reclaiming Control

Addiction isn’t just about drugs or alcohol. It’s any behavior that spirals out of control, where the desire to engage in it overtakes everything else—relationships, responsibilities, and even personal health. Whether it’s substance use, gambling, food, or technology, addiction hijacks your sense of choice.

Our therapy approach is designed to help you understand the root causes of your addiction, break free from its grip, and start living a life of balance, control, and fulfillment. It’s not about simply stopping the behavior—it’s about healing the reasons behind it.

What Does Addiction Look Like?

Addiction can take many forms, and it affects people in different ways. Common signs of addiction include:

  • Substance Use (alcohol, drugs, prescription meds)

    • Cravings that are hard to ignore

    • Using substances more frequently or in larger amounts

    • Failure to cut down or control use, despite trying

    • Withdrawal symptoms when not using

    • Neglecting responsibilities or relationships

  • Behavioral Addictions (gambling, food, technology, etc.)

    • Loss of control over the behavior

    • Prioritizing the behavior over important aspects of life

    • Guilt or shame after engaging in the addictive behavior

    • Engaging in the behavior to escape stress or emotions

    • Damaging relationships due to the behavior

Whether you’re struggling with substance use or behavioral addictions, we help you understand why the cycle continues and create a path forward toward healing.

How Therapy Helps

Addiction doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution—but therapy can provide the tools, strategies, and support needed to take back control.

Here’s how we approach addiction recovery:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge destructive thought patterns

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help find your intrinsic motivation for change

  • Relapse prevention strategies to break the cycle of returning to old habits

  • Support for underlying mental health conditions (like anxiety, depression, or trauma)

  • Mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques to manage triggers

  • Family and group therapy to restore relationships and build a support network

We focus on helping you address both the symptoms of addiction and the emotional, mental, and physical reasons behind it.

A Path Toward Recovery and Renewal

Addiction can feel overwhelming, but it’s never too late to turn things around. Therapy offers you the tools, support, and empowerment to rebuild your life—one step at a time. You’re not alone in this journey.
