Addiction Therapists in Frankfort, IN.

Addiction is a complex and well-debated area of practice. In the simplest of terms, I define addiction as using a process or substance to numb pain as it causes an unbalance in another area of your life. By healing the underlying pain that is needing the numbing, we can increase the success rate of other interventions. By re-establishing connection with others and addressing the addiction from multiple angles, we can work through this difficult issue. Through individual and group counseling and specifically tailored treatment plans, we can lower the chances of relapse and help you live addiction-free!

Addiction is painful. It's painful for the person going through it and it's painful for the people who are trying to help. Because addiction is so intense, it effects every single aspect of your life. Not all therapists have training in addiction and many are unsure of how to treat it. It's important that you go to a therapist who has adequate training and knows how to help. I have received numerous hours of training learning how to treat addiction both in a individual and family context. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Addiction-Focused therapies like the 12-Step Program. Take the first step to breaking this cycle and set up an appointment today.

What do you do when the very thing you have been using to help you feel better suddenly becomes the thing that is destroying your relationships and life? Most addictive behaviors begin as an attempt to help us feel better. In time, however, these coping skills can become an even larger issue than the one we were trying to manage. When the ability to choose begins to evaporate and life begins to feel unmanageable, it is time to consider a new way of managing your anxieties. Helping you find a better way to connect with your Self, Others and the God of your understanding is an intricate part of the work we do at Chrysalis Connections. When you are ready. We will be here.

Has porn or other sexual behaviors caused problems in your relationship? I frequently see clients with sex addiction, porn addiction, or sexual compulsions that cause problems in their relationships. I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who helps individuals and couples overcome various sexual difficulties. I am also a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC) and address addictive chemical and behavioral problems.

As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, I understand the struggles of being sober and clean from alcohol and drugs. The benefits of counseling will provide a safe confidential place to develop coping skills that will lead to long term sobriety. Treatment will include identifying strengths, working through shame, setting healthy boundaries, breaking the cycle of addiction, and defining who you are as a drug free individual.

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.
