Addictions therapists in South Gate Ridge, Florida FL
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Substance abuse addiction is a disease that affects not only the user but his or her family members. Abstinence does not solve the problem. Instead, I can help you and your family develop a new lifestyle that does require the use of mood-altering substances. Please read my book “Bulletproof Recovery” to know more about how my approach can help you achieve peace of mind and serenity.

The truth is addiction does not discriminate. Addiction does not care how amazing or how hurtful your family of origin is. You cannot escape addiction by moving to a different zip code or sitting in a different church pew. Addiction is indifferent to your hopes or dreams.
But your story is not a story about hopelessness; YOUR story is a story about redemption. A story that starts with taking back the power in your life, repairing relationships, and prioritizing your own value. This therapy process is about choosing yourself over previous emotional wounds and trauma. A realization that regardless of your vice, your life is worth more, your influence is worth more, and your life HAS MORE to give.
The cold hard facts are simple. NO ONE wakes up one day and says, “I cannot wait to be addicted to ________.” However, every day someone wakes up and asks themselves, “How am I going to get past my fears, this pain, my lack of self-worth, my feelings of hopelessness?”
The quick answer to that question? We try to escape through distraction. We look for instant gratification, and then we pursue it. At first, it starts with a bump, a sniff, or sip. But before we know it, what began as an attempt at self-medicating ends up in self-destruction.
Let’s make today the day we STOP the hurt and START the journey to healing.

Healing from substance abuse and addiction is rarely, if ever achieved through efforts to shame others and oneself. Rather, it requires honesty and a readiness to understand these issues within the context of a person's life that lends itself to an approach of curiosity and kindness.
