Addiction

I have multiple years of experience providing therapy in relation to substance abuse and addiction. Specific strategies in therapy will involve the following: Collaboratively setting goals, identifying underlying motivations for substance abuse, learning internal and external triggers, learning stress management tools, and developing problem solving skills.

You want to be free and have a life without drugs or alcohol. You want to wake up and not have that be the first thing you think about. You are tired of numbing your pain and memories, but are terrified of what may happen without it. Sometimes addiction is rooted with a traumatic experience, or a lifetime of traumatic experiences. Other times it may be due to something else; but either way it's getting in the way of your goals and dreams. Addiction-Focused EMDR can help!

Do you find yourself drinking more than you would like to? Are you feeling ashamed about how much you drink or the way that you behave when you drink? Do you want to cut down, but have been unable to do so? Therapy can help, and EMDR Therapy can help you to get at the root of what is causing you to drink. EMDR is an evidenced-based treatment for trauma known for it's gentleness and effectiveness. Visit my website to learn more and set up a free 15 minute consultation. https://jenimarie.org/

I have experience working with individuals diagnosed with substance use and co-occurring disorders utilizing motivational interviewing, person-centered, CBT, and DBT techniques. I have worked with women in residential treatment settings and in outpatient settings.

I have many years of experience in supporting people in better understanding their relationship with alcohol, drugs, or other behaviors (such as spending money, sex, relationships, gambling, food) so that they can make the changes they want to live a fuller, healthier life. Whether you are considering reducing the amount that you drink, or you are seeking support to achieve and maintain a sober life, I can support you. I believe that there are many paths in recovery, it is all up to you.

I have been working with alcohol use and substance use issues for many years. I work with people through abstinence based models and harm reduction models.

I specialize in helping clients with addiction and chemical dependency through a comprehensive approach that integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness techniques. I also incorporate relapse prevention strategies and community-support resources to promote lasting recovery. My approach addresses the underlying causes of addiction while empowering clients to build healthier habits and lifestyles.

You don't ever have to drink or use again. If you're ready to heal, you can do it, and I can help. If you're NOT ready to heal, I get it, and I'll still be on your side. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have equipped me with more tools to help others than my master's degree ever could. I'm ready when you are.

I have experience working in a substance use rehabilitation facility as Aftercare/Outpatient Counselor. I am familiar with the importance of building your recovery support network as well as the causes of addiction. I emphasize accountability when it comes to clients setting and achieving goals. Maintaining long-term sobriety has been a major focus for my practice so far.

In my approach to addiction therapy, I emphasize harm reduction as a compassionate and practical strategy for fostering change. I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop emotional regulation skills and improve interpersonal relationships. Recognizing the interplay between trauma and anxiety, I create a safe space for individuals to explore their experiences and motivations. Additionally, I integrate elements of spiritual healing to support clients in finding hope.

I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing therapeutic environment where my clients can feel empowered to explore the root cause of their addictive behaviors. By acknowledging the interconnectedness of trauma and addiction, I guide my clients in understanding how past experiences may have influenced their relationship with substances. I integrate various modalities to address not only addictive behaviors but the underlying emotional wounds, fostering a journey of self-discovery.

I obtained a certificate in drug and addiction studies while working towards my Masters in Social Work at the University of South Carolina. I have experience working in all levels of care as they relate to the evaluation and treatment of addiction, including intake services, detox, rehab, group and individual therapy.

I specialize in the psychiatric management of substance use disorders, recognizing the unique challenges that come with these conditions. My goal is to provide you with personalized care that addresses both your mental health and any substance use issues you may be facing. When it comes to substance use disorders, I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can discuss our experiences and work toward recovery. Understanding the interplay between ADHD and substance use is crucial.

In addition to my formal qualifications, I have undergone extensive training and supervision to enhance my knowledge and skills in this field.

As a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in addiction and substance abuse treatment. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery.

When we put down our addictions we are left with the insecure and vulnerable feelings we were trying to avoid. Though most associate addiction solely with substance, I challenge my clients to expand their concept to include multiple dimensions and spectrums. Phones, relationships, and avoidance are also addictive and vary in intensity. I offer a compassionate space to unpack those experiences and the emotions that have been pushed aside by process and substance addictions.

I approach addiction with deep compassion, recognizing it fundamentally as an issue of nervous system regulation. My work centers on creating a supportive environment where clients can safely explore and understand the emotional and psychological underpinnings of their addictive behaviors. By helping clients develop self-awareness and effective coping mechanisms, I guide them toward regulating their nervous systems and building a resilient foundation for sustainable recovery.
