Are you feeling dissatisfied with your life? Have drugs or alcohol become an integral part of your life? Have they become a way to feel good about yourself? Do they allow you to avoid particular situations, experiences, or people? Do they help numb the pain and overwhelm?
People use drugs or alcohol for different reasons. Psychotherapy can help you understand why you are abusing substances and:
● discover effective coping strategies and new problem-solving skills.
● lay the foundation for healthy relationship boundaries
● understand your feelings and effective ways to express them
● manage anxiety and stress more effectively
● build a repertoire of skills to cope with depression
● discern and change patterns of behavior and thoughts that adversely affect your life
● improve your self-esteem, self-respect and build an increased sense of confidence in your life
● effectively manage anger
● identify barriers to intimacy
Would you like to believe in yourself and restore a sense of balance in your life? Together we can meet this challenge and promote an opportunity for healing and change.
