An Alternative
to Typical Substance Abuse Counseling Programs I am providing creative
and flexible outpatient addictive behavioral counseling (ABC) and educational services based on a sensible and practical cognitive-behavioral
approach. My services include substance
abuse assessments, consultations, individual counseling, group psycho-educational sessions, family counseling, and drug screening. SMART Recovery® Training (SRT)
is my professionally delivered, fee-for-service addictive behavior counseling model designed to assist clients in learning
to apply the tools of the SMART Recovery® (SR) self-help program to “gain independence from addictive
behavior.”
Like
SMART Recovery®, my SRT approach is abstinence
based and focuses on addressing the SR “four point program.” Maintaining motivation to change Coping with urges and cravings Developing life coping skills Developing a balanced life style
SRT is an evidence based, flexible, and creative approach
characterized by integrating the following key components: The
Stages of Change Model Motivational Interviewing (MI) Rational
Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Relapse
Prevention (RP) Humanistic /Existential Psychology
My ABC&SRT services are individually based . I am focusing on working with clients
in individual sessions and in an optional weekly SRT group session of no more than 10 clients. Clients may
also participate in the free SMART Recovery® meetings available in the community and access the free SMART
Online (SOL) support system “24/7.” While I do not use the 12-Steps as a treatment modality, I am open to
and supportive of clients who may want to attend 12-Step meetings as well. All services are offered by appointment. Individual sessions are offered on weekdays (some early
evening hours or Saturdays may be available). Psycho-educational group sessions are offered on weekday
evenings and may be offered during the day if/when there is sufficient demand.

GETTING STARTED Typically, one
would start the process by making an appointment for an assessment or an initial consult. An assessment is indicated when a thorough clinical evaluation and recommendation
is desired. A consult may be appropriate if a client has had a recent assessment at another agency and/or wants to discuss
his/her situation and concerns about how my services may be helpful.
