Our dedicated team of experienced therapists utilizes evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals on their journey to overcome addiction and reclaim their lives. We believe that lasting recovery requires a deeper understanding of the thought processes and behavioral patterns that underpin addiction.

Who We Are

Our therapists are compassionate, highly skilled professionals with extensive experience in treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where you can explore the underlying issues contributing to your struggles and develop effective coping mechanisms.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

CBT is a therapy intervention that helps individuals identify and alter negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By challenging and reframing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can develop more adaptive and empowering ways of thinking and behaving. This approach has been extensively researched and proven effective in treating various addictions and co-occurring disorders.

Our Approach to Addiction Recovery

We utilize CBT to:

• Identify and modify negative thoughts and beliefs: We help you identify the irrational and unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel addictive behaviors and foster lasting change.
• Develop coping mechanisms: Learn effective strategies to manage triggers, cravings, and relapse prevention.
• Improve communication and relationships: We guide you in developing stronger communication skills to build healthy relationships and support networks.
• Engage in self-compassion: Discover how to treat yourself with kindness and understanding, fostering motivation and resilience.

Common CBT Techniques We Use

• Thought Records: Examining and challenging the validity of negative thoughts.
• Behavioral Experiments: Testing the effects of negative thoughts on behavior.
