Addiction Counseling and Recovery Coaching
For a variety of reasons, we become addicted to people, places and things, and when we do, our quality of life - as
well as that of those around us - declines.
When it gets to this point, we need help to restore a manageable and enjoyable quality of life.
I offer a unique approach to addictions counseling. I combine my expertise and training as a Registered Addictions
Specialist with a Doctorate in Naturopathy, Masters in Psychology and accreditations as a Nutritionist, Herbalist, and
Hypnotherapist to develop a truly
comprehensive and individualized treatment plan. Using this multi-disciplinary approach, people tend
to feel better faster and enjoy lasting results.
Hard Addictions Versus Soft Addictions
Do you have a problem with drugs or alcohol? I can help you decide what the next right step is. Is treatment your only
option? Should you go to 12 step meetings? Will outpatient work for you? These are questions that are best navigated with
a qualified and caring addictions specialist. Together we can help you make a decision as to what
options work best for your individual situation.
Perhaps your addiction is around something other than drugs or alcohol.
Are you always late? Is your house a mess? Do you shop too much? You could have a soft addiction. These "little habits'
can actually prevent us from living better lives. Soft addictions can actually be just as hard to stop as hard
addictions like drug use or gambling. For both soft and hard addictions. there are often co-occurring disorders, such
as depression and anxiety.
There is some argument between what defines a soft or hard addiction, or what constitutes at addiction. For example, some experts question
whether food addiction is real, but those who have it would tell you it is. Below are links to information about some common addictions that may
help you understand them better.
Addictions
Love Addiction
Addiction to Clutter
Compulsive Shopping
Food Addiction
Gambling Addiction
Sex Addiction
Video Game Addiction Disorder
Getting the Help You Need
Addictions, whether soft or hard, are difficult to overcome without help. If you're suffering and looking for
resolution from the cycle of addiction, please call me and we can talk about your options.
Over the years, there has been tens of thousands of research studies showing
that psychotherapy when combined with nutrition, herbs and/or lifestyle changes can help heal psychological problems.
That's why I combine psychology, naturopathy and nutrition - so the people I work with can feel better faster
and enjoy lasting results. My book Healing & Wholeness: Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Mental
Health contains an entire chapter that explains how the powerful combination of psychotherapy and natural methods helps
people to recover from addiction quickly and appreciate lasting results.
When we work together, I am committed to helping you feel supported in your journey to health and happiness.
