Addiction Therapists in Portage Lakes, OH.

Addiction takes many forms such as substance abuse, gambling, relationships, internet, sexual, spending, etc. Counseling helps treat these addictions by not only addressing the specific problems, but by also addressing the mental or behavioral disorders. A lot of times these mental health issues can cause an addict to end up relapsing. Counseling allows people to get an outside perspective in order to work on issues that may hold them back from achieving lifetime sobriety.

I can help provide information about addiction, encourage utilization of resources, such as AA and social supports, engagement in healthy alternatives to your addiction, and am happy to work with you as you engage in the process of recovery and relapse prevention. Many people with addiction relapse and do not stay on track because they stop working with their therapist or engagement in their recovery plan. It is important to work with a therapist to help stay on track and give yourself the best chance of success.

Therapy for addiction provides critical support in understanding the underlying causes of addictive behaviors and developing strategies for recovery. It helps individuals build coping skills, manage triggers, and address co-occurring mental health issues. Therapy also fosters self-awareness and resilience, empowering individuals to break the cycle of addiction, improve their relationships, and achieve long-term sobriety and well-being.

I am licensed as an Independent Chemical Dependency counselor in the State of Ohio. In addition to dealing with substance abuse and dependence, I have extensive experience in assessing and treating other addictive behaviors, such as eating compulsions, shopping/spending, pornography and sexual addiction, and codependency. There is freedom from addictive behaviors, and I help my clients to achieve that freedom through counseling and networking with resources in the community.

Addictions can be extremely difficult to overcome. Many times there is another diagnosis (anxiety, depression, etc) in addition to the addiction. Our counselors can help you learn ways to manage the underlying cause of the addiction and assist you through learning to change old habits into new habits. It is possible to overcome the addiction that controls your life. The journey to recovery is a very difficult one and is very hard to manage alone. Call today for an appointment to begin your new journey to a peace filled life.
