Top addiction therapists in 02532: Buzzards Bay, MA.

I have specialized in the field of substance abuse and addiction for over three decades. For several years I ran groups for alcohol/opioid dependent adults who were newly sober. I am familiar with both 12-Step Programs and Smart Recovery and I remain a firm believer that it takes a village to get and remain clean and sober. In my private practice today, I work with quite a number of people in recovery. I ONLY work with people who are in recovery to aid and assist them to live fuller and richer spiritual lives. Helping people to rediscover or discover their spirituality is a joy (albeit it sometimes challenging) and is a delight to bear witness to!

I work with clients to contemplate their sobriety from an addiction, build a daily structure and support network if sobriety is their goal, create a toolbox of coping skills to combat cravings, educate clients about the cycle of addiction, help them acknowledge their ambiguity or conflict about being sober, and recreating a new story of their lives as a person in recovery.

In my addiction counseling practice, I use a combination of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help clients understand the root causes of their substance use and develop effective strategies for recovery. My approach focuses on relapse prevention, coping skills development, and building a strong support network. By addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of addiction, I help clients achieve long-term sobriety and a healthier lifestyle.
