Top addiction therapists in 32960: Vero Beach, FL.

I treat compulsive thinking and behavior (addictions) of most any type. This may include but not be limited to drugs, food, cigarettes, sex, sex/love or ritualistic behaviors beyond one's ability to manage or control. My approach is both in-depth with a goal of insight and understanding and solution-focused. Please call for a consultation to discuss your particular presenting problem(s) so we can address why this has happened to you and what to do about it.

It is my belief that addiction is purely the symptom of underlying pain, shame and hurt. Addicts are people who have found a temporary relief from their problems that has caused long-term consequences and even more problems. I have found that addressing the "real issues" which oftentimes are trauma, abuse and negative life events that were so overwhelmingly difficult that running away or numbing out seemed to be the answer. I combine my training as a Certified Addiction Professional with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to resolve the underlying pain and trauma that addiction fails to address to make it easier for clients to enter into full recovery
