How to Stay Sober: Therapy Can Help
Substance abuse can prevent you from moving forward in life and create ruptures in your relationships with the ones you love most. Learning how to stay sober or moderate drinking can be an incredibly difficult roadblock to overcome. Having the right substance abuse therapist to help could be the tool you need to get past those blocks and move forward. In my practice, I have helped both individuals and couples work on their relationship to substance use through moderation or sobriety.
Get The Support You Need
I provide treatment to help people who find they struggle to cut back on their own. Professional support is a valuable tool as you develop a plan for how to cut back or how to stay sober.
One of the primary modalities I use to treat substance abuse is motivational interviewing, which helps strengthen motivation to change by resolving ambivalence, forming a plan, and developing the skills to carry out this plan. As needed, I incorporate other evidence-based treatments to adapt to problems that arise and develop flexible responses to triggers and other stressors.
My Experience
I’m intimately familiar with working in both intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) settings. During my experience in both a hospital Addiction Medicine department and an outpatient treatment center, I’ve seen firsthand what helps people get sober and the difficulties people can fall into while trying to navigate the system of treatment centers. I’m eager to help you make the right choices to avoid relapsing and achieve a healthier relationship with substances.
