Top addiction therapists in 76071: Newark, TX.

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.

From personal experience, I have a good idea of how an addiction can cause problems in many areas of a person's life - work, school, family, friends, legal, etc. And I know how difficult it can be to stop an addictive habit, whether it is an addiction to substances, or an "addiction" to a particular type of behavior. Meet with me and see if you agree that I know what I'm talking about and have some good ideas about what you might do to change your habits.

In addiction counseling, my approach focuses on a holistic and client-centered perspective, emphasizing personal empowerment and long-term recovery. I believe in addressing addiction as a complex interplay of psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual factors. I work with clients to get to the root cause of their addiction, identity triggers, and develop strategies for change. Utilizing cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, I assist clients in developing self -awareness, building healthy skills, and cultivating ways to express the impact.

Pornography is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. Like marijuana it is a gateway activity leading to all kinds of destructive sexual habits. Like cocaine, pornography is itself addictive and destructive to your brain, to your relationships, and to your spirit. I am passionate about helping teenage and adult men find freedom from the guilt, shame, and compulsion of pornography viewing. Initially, it may seem impossible to imagine a life free from pornography, but it is possible and the rewards are incredible.

Sexual addiction is difficult to overcome because the addict believes she / he is in control of the addiction. Unfortunately, when the 'urge' hits, the individual is overwhelmed by the need to satisfy the craving for a sexual 'fix'. Guilt, remorse, and shame is a part of the unending cycle. At Christ Centered Counseling clients are taught biblical principles that assist them with overcoming their sexual addiction.
