Addiction Therapists in Portland, CT.

People typically think of addiction as being related to alcohol and drugs only. However, in our ever-changing world, individuals are also suffering from addictions relating to the internet, porn, gambling, social media, phones, food, work, and exercise. I treat all types of addiction from an interpersonal and dynamic theoretical orientations. I help transform suffering into peace.

Addiction issues include drugs and alcohol. They may also include sex, food, internet, and many other behavioral addictions.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy you will learn the tools to help you identify your relapse triggers and healthy coping skills.

Like most people, therapist have their own set of addictions, and I must admit, I would probably classify myself as a "coffee addict." However, when addictions interfere with life including work, employment, and close relationships, there may be something more that needs to be addressed such as family history or patterns of addiction via therapy. I work with clients to help them establish different lifestyle choices, and how one lifestyle change can bring about a healthy "domino" effect in other aspects of their life.

For some people addictions and compulsions are just a way to get rid of bad feelings. The problem is that the bad feelings always come back. Compulsive and addictive behaviors - like obsessive and compulsive disorder, gambling, sexual addictions, eating disorders, cutting, etc. - can work very much like alcohol and substance abuse. They are ways of controlling strong emotional reactions of anxiety, anger, sadness, loneliness or guilt. I use 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to identify and fully resolve the roots of your emotional reactions so that they no longer trigger the urge to self-medicate.

Working with a lot of DUI (now considered OUI) populations as the lead therapist at a major outpatient center, I learned very quickly the causes of most forms of addiction.
