Do you have a teen that you worry is using substances? It can be one of the scariest things to realize that your teen may be using drugs. I can help parents deal with all of the facets of teen behavior such as substance use, lying, poor school performance, defiance, dangerous behaviors, and even criminal activity. Don't wait until it's too late, you can help your child correct their path now before the stakes get too high.

I work with clients with sexual addictions, such as compulsive pornographic internet consumption. Research on the impact of such addictions is used to determine if or how this information fits with client experiences. This information is combined with the client's unique experiences to determine the level of honest commitment to change. If change is sought, we then work to identify triggers and devise coping strategies to intercept the chain of events leading to relapse. When relapse is an issue, we address it deliberately but delicately, understanding the toxic and unhelpful nature of shame and it's impact on addictive cycles.

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.

We can use mindfulness techniques to work with difficult emotions or a lack of emotions day to day. Exercise, diet, sleep and many daily activities can be utilized to help with difficult times. Self care is an exploration. I support the use of medications when needed depending on what you want to do. I take an individualized approach so the process depends on how you want to approach it and what your needs are.

In working with Addiction, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. EMDR is traditionally seen as a technique specifically used in working with trauma. This is true and most of the time, addiction is rooted in trauma so it can be helpful as a dual diagnosis approach. However, EMDR can also be used specifically to help with addictions because it can be used to desensitize triggers for using and help clients maintain sobriety.

Addictions are always a statement of personal entitlement, "I can do this and I do not care how it affects you." When acting through your addiction you give the people around you the message that you are important and they are not. I deal with people who live with addictions with firm, clear, loving confrontations. I can help you deal with your grandiosity even if you do not recognize it when you first come in. I can help you find your humility and accept responsibilty for the pain and harm you have caused in relationships. When you deal with it straight on you can have access to the deepest layers of your self-esteem and to your core value. You will move from pretense into authentic life.

I firmly believe people do their best to create a meaningful life. I believe that people use Alcohol and drugs for a reason and it serves a purpose in their life. Maybe it helped change the feelings? Maybe it covered up or quiet thoughts? Maybe it created a feeling of confidence? Maybe it helped you feel like you belonged? Do any of those “maybes” resonate for you? If we asked how they are working, most would probably say it’s not working anymore. Addiction counseling provides you with support, resources, and we create a road map to your recovery.

Are you frustrated that you have tried everything and nothing has worked for you yet? Addictions are symptoms of a deeper longing. I love to explore what that deeper longing might be for each of my clients. What get's you out of bed in the morning? Are you deeply connected with yourself or do you tend to live in your head? I offer a strengths based counseling style that will explore all of these topics with you.
