Many clients come to me directly for help with addiction issues. More often an issue with addiction or abuse becomes apparent through our work in a different area – depression, couples work, etc. Often, as this is not the issue brought to me for treatment, a client is anxious about discussing and reluctant to address.
In all cases I employ harm reduction strategies in addition to traditional abstinence support and will meet you wherever you currently are in your desire for change, even if that desire is to generally maintain status quo.
