Addiction Therapists in Cave Creek, AZ.

We work with clients to understand how they may be using addictive behaviors to support them with regulation. Our goal is to work with clients to find other alternatives opposed to ignoring the need or the function that the addictive behaviors may have in supporting the client to feel more or less in their current situations. We believe that healing requires building a new life with new behaviors that serve you better but give you the same relief!

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.

During my training, I was involved in dealing with all kinds of addictions in an in-patient setting. I have also directed an intensive out-patient program for substance abuse and, since 1985, have run a recovery program for men struggling with sex addiction and or infidelity. The program has been very successful by any measure. The men who remain in the group and gain a year of sobriety have done very well and many of them continue to return annually for an update and their next years' chip. The first 90 days are rather intense, with a combination of 1:1, Group and Couples counseling. Both the offender and spouse need help. It is much better if both parties receive help.
