Addiction

You’ve done your utmost to navigate life’s stressors, seeking solace in substances as a coping mechanism. Initially, it seemed like you held the reins, but now it’s turned against you. How did it escalate to this point? Why did I allow it to go so far? Perhaps I’m too weak to break free. It has severed connections with friends and family, and I’m tired of relying on it—it dictates my every move. The grip feels unyielding, and I’m drowning. Do you feel this way? There is hope for you to break free.

Nobody aspires to be ensnared by substance addiction. Often, it begins as a response to physical or emotional pain, but over time, it morphs into a relentless cycle. It becomes the lens through which life is viewed—a trap that seems impossible to escape. Hope must be rekindled, and awareness of the detrimental impact of substances on an individual’s well-being is crucial for breaking free.

There is hope for change, a chance to reclaim control over your life. I’m here to walk alongside you, providing unwavering support on your journey toward a substance-free existence. 

Substance Abuse Counseling by Marie-Anne Abenroth

I hold licenses as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor, with several years of experience working as a Substance Abuse Counselor. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that change originates from within, and my role is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment as I walk alongside individuals on their journey toward a substance-free life.

Motivational Interviewing serves as a valuable tool in my practice. Through this approach, I assess progress, provide motivation, and hold individuals accountable for their actions as they work toward their goals. Substance abuse often masks deeper underlying issues, which must be addressed to prevent relapse. Here, a trauma-informed approach plays a crucial role in understanding and healing those underlying issues.

Remember, there is hope for transformation, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
