Addiction Therapists in Wheaton, IL.

Addictions often take over a persons life even though behaviors may have been manageable and less frequent at one point in time. We can use counseling sessions to identify why you are using the addictive behavior and how it is harmful in your life as keys to recovery and treatment. We can begin to find healthy alternatives for coping that result in much less stress and damage to your self and those around you. Addictions often take a tool on health, relationships, finances, and happiness and therapy can help restore that with the use of recovery-based treatment approaches.

In my approach to addiction counseling, I create a nonjudgmental and supportive space where clients can openly explore the roots of their behaviors and patterns. I integrate evidence-based strategies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing to guide clients in understanding their triggers and building healthier coping mechanisms. By fostering self-compassion and resilience, I help clients develop personalized strategies for recovery, strengthen their motivation for change, and rebuild their lives with renewed confidence and hope.

Struggling with an alcohol or drug addiction can be devastating to ourselves as well as the ones we love the most. Getting a hold of your addiction can be an exhausting and difficult process. Having worked in a detox unit helping people getting linked with substance abuse services I know the difficulties of navigating the system. I strive to make the counseling process easy and frustration free. My approach is to help you gain insights while teaching you new skills to help you reach the goals you're striving for.
