We work with individuals who have been affected by an addiction and want to turn their lives around. We work with their families and friends that want to heal.

We work closely with Co-Dependency.
We are known to work well with adolescents. We find solutions for parents who have come to their "wits end".
Sometimes people come to us because they just need a private and safe place to talk.
Our philosophy: Alcohol, drugs, and behavior addictions are not the problems; they are the symptoms. They are what people are using to help themselves cope with the problems. When the underlying problems are discovered and treated, there is no need for alcohol, drugs, or behavior dependencies. The reason why most other program fail and their clients relapse is because they treat the symptoms - not the underlying problems.

The goal of therapy is to get to the bottom of why you are using and to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you. The goal of therapy is to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work or at school, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind.

We are happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to answer any questions that you might have.

You can create change in your life and overcome difficult, even seemingly overwhelming obstacles. Contact us and take that courageous first step.
