Addiction Therapists in Indian Head, MD.

Addiction is an intense yearning to again and again experience the effects of repeating a behavior or using a substance. Whether it is alcohol addiction or internet addiction, the loss of control and the constant cravings affect one’s physical health, emotional well-being, and social life. The goal of therapy is to help you break the current routine - to help you develop and practice strategies for impulse control and build a healthy, balanced, productive, and rewarding lifestyle.

If you have been trapped in alcoholism or addictions, I can help you. I have decades of experience, both personally and professionally, with addiction recovery. My first book, "FROM ADDICTION TO RECOVERY," (available at Amazon.com) is about how to navigate the recovery process and create a life that you love, and can be applied to any addiction. I will meet you where you are, help you to identify choices, and assist you in moving towards the best options for you. You will begin to experience more freedom in your life than ever before.

I started out 38 years ago working mainly with addictions. One of my highest success levels is in addictions. Of-course, addiction comes in many styles and forms, but they have a lot in common. Many addictions are a poor attempt to cover up something one is wanting to run or hide from. It does not take long to find that out by just listening to you. Then we go to work resolving that hang-up. I have learned the power of listening, it, in and of itself is a great healer.

Life can present you with difficult situations which are hard to process and move past. These challenges are not on your timeline and affect everything. Having worked in many healthcare settings, I am familiar navigating life-changing events and grief. I understand the territory of encountering loss, coping with trauma, the complexity of the medical system and living with illness. These issues can have ripple effects on your relationships, sense of self and perceptions of the world. I know how complex things can get, and I will support you during this process.

Many people attempt to avoid painful issues by taking pills, powders, or liquids and then waiting for the desired effect - an alteration of their consciousness. There are more positive ways to alter consciousness without turning to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, television, work, or any other activity that when used to excess, has a destructive impact on your life. Learning to change your mood by healthier more active methods involves some effort and motivation on your part but recovery from addiction is possible. We have experienced substance abuse professionals to help you make the changes you want to make

At Counseling Solutions, LLC, I treat substance abuse utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and 12-Step Principles. Individuals who are experiencing life problems due to their alcohol or drug use are appropriate for these types of outpatient, weekly therapy. The substance use may be impairing relationships, job performance, health, or a general sense of well-being. For those who require detoxification due to withdrawal symptoms, it is essential that a period of closely monitored inpatient treatment and/or a period of residential treatment be completed prior to outpatient therapy

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind.

One of Robyn's areas of specialty is working with people with a history of trauma, both large and small. Trauma can result from many causes, including abandonment, experiences of violence, witnessed or perceived violence, chronic neglect, and emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Individuals who have experienced trauma may experience feeling anxious, panicky, or depressed, or develop relationship problems and alcohol and/or substance use problems. Robyn treats co-occurring disorders, as well as underlying causes. In treating trauma, Robyn emphasizes safety and boundaries and works at a pace that suits the client's needs. She believes in the fundamental importance of the mind-body connection in h....

When we repeatedly experience difficult emotions which we don't know how to healthily work through we often develop compulsive/addictive cycles as a way of trying to survive. Sometimes these cycles go unnoticed for a long time. And sometimes these compulsive cycles become very destructive. Either way, the good news is that we are capable of changing (though we can't do it alone). I would be honored to help you work through the underlying struggles that are fueling your compulsive cycles, so that you can experience more freedom, peace and joy in your life and relationships.

There is a spectrum of substance use. Not all use is addiction. It doesn't always end in "jail, institutions, or death." Our goal is to help you figure out how drugs or alcohol have impacted you and your life. Then we will individualize a treatment plan for you. This may include a combination of individual, family, or group therapy and drug/alcohol testing. It may even include a program of harm reduction called alcohol moderation. Mutual support groups do not work for everyone so we do not require them. Don't let a bad experience with a rigid program stop you from getting help.

Our team of therapists can help you face your specific addiction issues and tailor a treatment plan specifically for you. Our team of counselors come from a wide variety of backgrounds, so we're confident we can find you help that's best suited for your unique challenges and goals. Working with us, you'll get results. Please don't wait, we're ready to help you today.

To help you manage addictive behaviors and dependence on any mood altering substances, we will start with reviewing the history of your addictive behavior and the impact it has on your relationships, health, employment, and functioning. Sometimes addictive substances or behaviors have served to mask underlying sources of pain, such as mood instability, anxiety, relationship stressors, or emptiness and loss of meaning. These underlying factors can be addressed in psychotherapy along with learning new resources for managing addictive behaviors, such as educational lectures, family therapy, 12 step groups, and/or referral to a medical doctor for medication that aids your overall recovery.
