Addictions therapists in Herrin, Illinois IL
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
My aim is to create a nurturing space where my clients feel supported as they explore their addiction and work towards positive changes in their lives. It all starts with a thorough assessment to truly understand their individual journey. Drawing from a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing, I guide them in developing coping strategies, unpacking underlying emotional issues, and rediscovering their sense of self-worth. Plus, I'm here to provide couples or family therapy, offering a safe haven to address any relationship dynamics that may be influencing their addiction. Together, we'll navigate this journey with compassion and understanding, empowering them to thrive.

Christensen and Sons, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW: LCSW, LSW, PEL
Addiction is problem that affects individuals, their families, and friends. However, many addicts deny that they have a problem and refuse to seek help. In some cases, the family finds itself unable to help. In our sessions we first assist the addict and then when possible, the family. Individual counseling is confidential and personal and involves the counselor meeting face to face with the addict to discuss recovery.

Dr. William Christiana
Psychologist, PsyD
Have you found yourself drinking more than you would like? Do friends and family express concerns about your drug or alcohol use? Are you worried about how your substance use is effecting your physical health, mental health, relationships, or performance at work? Has it been difficult to stop or cut down on your own? Are you thinking about making some changes? While it can be difficult to take the first step towards change, it is not one you have to take alone. My goal is to create a safe space where people can explore and understand their use, openly discuss the changes they are considering, choose a path forward, and learn the skills to get there.
