Specialties & focus areas
Recovery focus
Co-occurring
Other focus areas
Evidence-based approaches
Holistic
Holistic Care. Adds nutrition, sleep, movement, and mind-body practices alongside the clinical work. Recovery is whole-person; the body matters too.
Equine therapy
Equine-Assisted Therapy. Structured work with horses, often alongside a clinician. Useful for trauma + emotional regulation when interaction with another live being lowers defenses that talk-therapy alone cannot.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. Practices noticing urges without acting on them, building the gap between trigger and choice.
Family systems
Family Systems work. Brings the people closest to you into the recovery picture, since urges and relationships rarely live in separate boxes.
