Addiction Therapists in Bastrop, TX.

Are you struggling with an addiction? Maybe your loved one or friend is struggling with addiction and you feel helpless to stop it. Have you or your loved one tried to quit numerous times only to relapse and fall off the wagon? Maybe you have a sincere desire, but can't seem to take the first step. I can't do that for you, but I can help you or your loved one identify triggers and patterns that make the process of recovery more difficult. I mix compassion with a challenging style to help clients (or their loved ones) become more successful in recovery.

Helping clients to identify what they are seeking from and or getting out of their addiction is one of the main goals in my practice. Once clients are able to identify this they can better understand the motivation behind continuing to use. The next step is to help clients to create a "new life" or version of themselves that allows for more balance and enjoyment.

When people think about the word addiction, the most common thought is about drugs or substance. But we can experience addiction to anything, including pornography, computer games, shopping, gambling, even things that normally represent positive things such as exercising or working. People suffering from addiction may have a brain chemistry that is hardwired that way. But sometimes addictions come about as a maladaptive response to a trauma or an event in a person's life. Part of therapy is to help determine the cause of the addiction and then to find the appropriate modality to treat it.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

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.

You'll get practical guidance for how to cut back or quit, how to get support, and overcoming your fears. Reach out today and start building the life you truly want to lead.

I facilitate groups of men and women who are in local treatment centers at Wind Horse Hill Healer's Retreat and Training Center where we have the opportunity to work with horses in a beautiful, relaxing Hill Country setting. We also provide programming for families with an addicted member. Learning ways to deepen insight, improve communication, set strong flexible boundaries and enjoy leaning into a morning or afternoon of self care proves for an empowering opportunity for growth and healing.

Through personalized treatment plans, clients will benefit from a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction. My goal is to empower clients to identify triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Together, we will create a safe and supportive environment where clients can work towards sobriety, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose, ultimately leading to a life free from the constraints of addiction.

Discover the source of the persistent pain underlying your attempts to avoid or dampen that discomfort. Uncover your personal and innate signals, finding ways of responding to your experience that leads to a life that works better for you and those around you. Develop means and methods of recognizing what will solve the problem and resourcing solutions that lead to a more fulfilling life rather than adding to the hurdles created by addiction.

Working together, we create a future free from addiction that gives you the power to take back control of your life.

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.
