Top addiction therapists in 18042: Easton, PA.

We offer counseling to those suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. Whether you are working toward sobriety, or have been clean for a long time, we are here to support, guide and help you in your journey. We understand that addiction is a disease, and that it effects relationships and every member of your family, and all aspects of your life. Take the first step and reach out for help.

Our determination to avoid pain often leads us to other solutions or substances such as, alcohol, sex, materialism, prescription pills, entertainment, food etc. All of which are readily available in our society. Before we know it we can often find ourselves addicted and empty. Because I can admit my own brokenness, I can help you find the strength and courage you will need to embark on your journey toward freedom. We can walk together toward recovery and rehabilitation. With God all things are possible to those who believe.

Addiction is an all consuming disease that effects all areas of your life, emotional, social, physical, relational, economic, legal and spiritual. The 12 step recovery programs are not always enough to reach sobriety as there are often underlying issues. By recovering from addictions you can get your life back, reconnect to broken relationships and gain health as well as healthy self esteem. In addition, therapy will provide tools for relapse prevention, stress management, life coping skills and relationship development.. You can live your life alcohol and drug free with serenity and health.

Although not an addictions counselor, I help clients who struggle with others in their lives that struggle with an addiction. I often instruct clients on way to identify unhealthy vs. healthy boundaries in relating to their addicted loved one. I teach clients about codependency and specific techniques on handling the "traps" of being close to someone with an addiction. If help clients determine if they have an addiction and give them resources on best treatment options. Family therapy helps client families better relate to one another and deal with addiction in a more healthy way.

Letting go of an addiction is hard work – but living with addiction isn't really living, is it? Our cravings and obsessions can run our lives. But how to take charge again? I believe that addiction serves an important purpose. In some way, it allows you to survive and cope with stressors, helps you to calm down, or wake up, or feel better, at least for awhile. We will work to understand the why of your addiction - what deep longing the addictive behavior is trying to fill so desperately, but unsuccessfully. You can learn healthier ways to comfort yourself, ways that bring you closer to people you love, instead of distancing them. You will take back the power to run your own life!!!
