With a specialty in addictions and trauma recovery, I help clients learn the roots of the trauma, while they practice and strengthen skills of presence, connection, and purpose.
At New Horizon Counseling Center we offer individuals, couples and family counseling in a group practice setting with licensed counselors and social workers. Our trained, caring therapy staff offer a variety of approaches to meet the specific needs of each client in a safe and calm setting.

One of our counselors on staff, Allie Austin, has had experience working in a residential treatment program with clients struggling with various types of addictions and comorbid mental health issues. During her time there, she was faced with very challenging cases that deepened her compassion and equipped her to support clients struggling with addiction or clients who have loved ones struggling with addiction. She draws from that formative experience to inform her current treatment plans within our outpatient facility.
Substance abuse and addiction treatment has been a passion of mine for many years. I have worked with both adolescents and adults in inpatient and outpatient settings. Substance abuse can affect people of any age, class, race, or religion. Learning the client's story and understanding why they use is as important as any treatment modality.
In my experience working with those who have substance abuse issues, the 12-step model is quite effective. However, there are other approaches that also work, including CBT, DBT, and Person-centered therapies. I am willing to work with the approach the client feels is best for them.
I treat a system instead of a symptom. By understanding the addictive process, clients can make
sustainable changes and progress toward breaking the addictive cycle.

Addiction counseling consists of individual and or group sessions that can be done both virtually or in person. We utilize CBT Intervention tools along as part of our practice approach to counseling. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a type of talk therapy, or psychotherapy, that can help with many emotional and mental conditions or issues. In fact, CBT therapy is more than just one type of therapy; it is a group of different techniques that psychologists, therapists, and counselors use to modify thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions.
