Addictions therapists in Pittsford, New York NY

Are you wondering if your behavior is an Addiction? Clients often seek out therapy because they feel unsure about whether or not they're addicted. Despite the prominence of addiction today, there is hope and help waiting for you! I have years of experience helping addicts to regain their lives.  

Whenever we are turning to a substance, there is a purpose it is serving in our lives. In working with clients on substance use, I first identify what the goal is for you. Is it moderation, is it total abstinence? Then you and I can begin to develop tangible coping skills to work toward that goal while also examining the underlying issues that may have led you to out of control substance use in the first place.  

Cognitive behavioral treatment. Set goals. Abstinence or moderation goals. Track progress.  

I am a master counselor level CASAC with over a decade of experience working with folks examining relationships with substances. I work with harm reduction as well as abstinence models, and am well-versed in 12 step, MM, SMART, and Seeking Safety models.  

The nature of addiction is both physical and psychological. When you combine psychological and hypno therapeutic strategies and techniques most addictions will be eliminated without long term therapy. Moreover, hypnotherapy addresses the the habit or addiction at the subconscious level where the problem is locked from conscious control. When therapeutic suggestions and NLP techniques are utilized the addiction can be extinguished without withdrawal and excess struggle. See testimonials on HypnosisbyDoctors.com
