 You may have turned to alcohol, over eating, or drugs to cope and escape from feeling like a failure, hoping that the problems might disappear. You may have or may have not yet realized that these coping methods temporarily make you feel like you have control over your problems but these problems are still there if not have got worse. Relying on these unhealthy habits is a symptom of underlying and unresolved issues such as low self esteem, hurt, loss, trauma, and dysfunctional family communication. I offer a customized recovery program that is more cost friendly and effective as compared to traditional rehab programs. A customized treatment plan will incorporate using state of the art and research proven methods such as EMDR to help facilitate your recovery in a safe, nonjudgemental, and empathic atmosphere.
The out-patient treatment will provide you tools to help you stop and manage destructive habits whether you are fighting drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, food, shopping, sex, or gambling. In recovering from addiction, you will learn about your strength and discover your innate coping capabilities. With a customized and effective combination of outpatient therapy and a support network of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), family, and friends you will like many others be able to overcome and maintain a life of sobriety. The out-patient program is based on the book by Stanton Peele, Ph.D., J.D.: 7 Tools to Beat Addiction. You will learn the following skills to prevent relapse and to help you maintain sobriety.  Healthy Communication Skills Managing negative and uncomfortable emotions Resisting Urges Processing and healing from hurt and trauma Discovering inner strengths and resources Developing realistic life goals Learning ways to reach out and access support from family, friends, and community groups Gaining self respect, positive self esteem, and responsibility
