How It Works & Who It’s For

Counseling begins with a confidential evaluation to assess the severity of use, triggers, underlying mental health conditions, and personal goals.
 

Treatment may include:
 

  • Individual therapy sessions focused on triggers, coping, and relapse prevention

  • Behavioral strategies to reduce or eliminate alcohol use

  • Identification of root causes such as trauma, grief, or stress

  • Education about the effects of alcohol on physical and mental health

  • Family or couples therapy to rebuild communication and trust

  • Coordination with physicians or support groups if medical treatment is needed
     

Each treatment plan is tailored to meet the client’s stage of readiness—whether they are seeking full abstinence, harm reduction, or a clearer understanding of their behavior.

Alcohol & Dependency Counseling is for:

​

  • Individuals questioning their relationship with alcohol

  • Adults seeking support for recovery or relapse prevention

  • People navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, or emotional pain through drinking

  • Clients referred from court or medical providers

  • Loved ones of individuals with alcohol dependency seeking education or support

  • Those in early sobriety needing structured, professional guidance
     

This therapy can be a first step toward change or a long-term part of a comprehensive recovery plan.

Alcohol & Dependency Counseling can address a range of issues related to substance use, including:

  • Chronic or high-risk alcohol use

  • Binge drinking or loss of control over consumption

  • Emotional dependence or self-medication through alcohol

  • Co-occurring disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression, PTSD)

  • Relationship or work challenges due to drinking

  • Legal consequences related to alcohol use (e.g., DUI)

  • Post-detox or early recovery support

  • Fear of relapse or navigating sober living environments
     

Counseling is also helpful for individuals who aren’t sure if they meet the criteria for alcohol use disorder but want to evaluate their relationship with alcohol and explore healthier alternatives.

Alcohol & Dependency Counseling

Supportive, structured therapy for recovery, relapse prevention, and long-term wellness

Psychological testing is a structured and evidence-based process used to evaluate an individual’s cognitive abilities, emotional health, behavioral functioning, and learning profile. These evaluations are administered, scored, and interpreted by licensed professionals with clinical expertise.

​

Each assessment integrates test results with a comprehensive review of psychological, medical, educational, and personal history to ensure accuracy and relevance. Testing is never used in isolation but as part of a complete diagnostic process that informs treatment planning, academic support, or legal documentation.

Alcohol & Dependency Counseling is a focused therapeutic service designed to help individuals recognize, address, and recover from alcohol misuse and dependency. This counseling approach provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the emotional, behavioral, and situational factors that contribute to substance use, while building the tools needed for lasting change.

​

Using evidence-based practices, counseling supports individuals at any stage of recovery—from early awareness to relapse prevention. Therapy may incorporate motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and support in accessing additional resources, such as 12-step programs or medical detox services when needed.

​

Our approach respects each person’s unique recovery path, offering both structure and flexibility to meet their individual goals.
