Specialties & focus areas
Recovery focus
Other focus areas
Evidence-based approaches
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
MI
Motivational Interviewing. A collaborative conversation that strengthens your own reasons for change rather than arguing you into it.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Stops fighting hard feelings and instead points your action toward what you actually value.
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.
Trauma-informed care
Trauma-Informed Care. Approaches addiction as something layered on top of unprocessed trauma, not in isolation. Pacing matters more than confrontation.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. Practices noticing urges without acting on them, building the gap between trigger and choice.
Cognitive behavioral therapy

Motivational interviewing
Motivational Interviewing. A collaborative conversation that strengthens your own reasons for change rather than arguing you into it.
