"Where you are empowered to change your life through counseling and education!"
"Empowerment within the context of therapy is helping the person to recognize the power they have themselves and within their environment. It is the process of encouraging an individual to think, behave, manage, take action and make decisions toward their goals. It encourages people to gain the skills and knowledge that will allow them to overcome obstacles in life or work environment and ultimately, help them develop within themselves or in the society."

Stress/Anxiety Management
"Everyone experiences stress and anxiety at one time or another. The difference between them is that stress is a response to a threat in a situation. Anxiety is a reaction to the stress." (ADAA, 2021)
Relapse Prevention
"Substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex condition in which there is uncontrolled use of a substance despite harmful consequences. People with SUD have an intense focus on using a certain substance(s) such as alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs, to the point where the person’s ability to function in day-to-day life becomes impaired. People keep using the substance even when they know it is causing or will cause problems.." (Psychiatry.org, 2020)
Co-Dependency
"Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person assumes the role of “the giver,” sacrificing their own needs and well-being for the sake of the other, “the taker.” The bond in question doesn’t have to be romantic; it can occur just as easily between parent and child, friends, and family members." (PsychologyToday, 2021)
Familial Effects of Addiction
"Addictions researchers have confirmed the reciprocal relationship between the disease of addiction and the environment. All persons influence their social environment and in turn are influenced by it. The family system must be factored into the understanding of the disease development and maintenance as well as be included in the efforts necessary for successful ongoing treatment..." (Lender, Howsare, Byrne, 2013)
Difficult Life Transitions
Some common life transitions can be difficult to navigate like:
Young Adulthood
Relocation
Parenthood
Marriage/Divorce
Mid-life changes
Late Adulthood
Retirement
Self-Esteem/Confidence Issues
Common triggers where self esteem issues may arise may occur from home, school or work conditions. Certain patterns of thinking can further erode self esteem such as, seeing either "all is good" and or "all is bad"; thinking of only negative outcomes and dwelling on them and most importantly devaluing your self worth.
