THERAPY FOR ADDICTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY
MEANINGFUL SESSIONS WITH THERAPISTS WHO GET YOU
Are you stuck in repetitive cycles of drinking or substance use—bingeing or using, regretting it, swearing you won’t do it again, but secretly knowing you will?
Maybe you’re worrying about your eating, shopping, relationship patterns, or other compulsive behaviors, wondering why you can’t stop, afraid that maybe you’re addicted—even though you’re not sure what that means.
You are hurting on the inside—feeling worthless, hating yourself, dreading each day—and drinking or using feels like the only way to numb the pain.
Your relationships are in shambles; you’ve let down people you love too many times to count, and you wonder how anyone could still care about you.
Your life is a mess—whether anyone else can see it or not—and you don’t feel like you’ll ever have yourself together enough to fix it.
HEALING BEYOND ADDICTION
Addiction can take many forms; it isn’t always drugs or alcohol. But one thing all addictions have in common is that they aren’t happening because you’re a weak person with no self-control; they’re happening because you’re in pain and you don’t know how else to go on living.
But therapy for addiction can be a healthier way to cope.
You can break free of drinking and substance use—no more shame and regret, no more damaging lapses—and build trust with yourself again.
You can stop compulsive behaviors that are eating away at your life, and feel in control of yourself again.
You can heal—not just fix your behaviors, but truly heal the wounds that caused those behaviors in the first place, so you can love yourself unconditionally.
You can mend your relationships, show up for the people you love, and learn how to receive their love in return.
You can create the kind of life that you would love to live, a life of creativity, wonder, stability, and rich relationships.
Stop telling yourself you have to do this on your own.
Get help. Break free.
FAQ’s About Addiction Therapy
-
We treat everything—from alcohol and drugs to food addictions, relationship codependency, sex addiction, internet or technology addiction, and more. All addictions share features in common, and our therapists have a wide range of experience treating addictive behavior patterns as well as any underlying trauma or mental health disorders.
-
You may have lost hope, but we’re here to hold onto hope for you until you can feel hope for yourself. Chronic addiction is often driven by complex trauma or profound experiences of loss. When you’re living with unresolved trauma, you can try all you want to change your behaviors or white-knuckle your way through life or overcome addiction with sheer willpower, and it isn’t going to work. But if you can treat the underlying trauma and truly heal those old, festering wounds, suddenly, change becomes possible. We use trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR to get to the root of your addiction and heal deep trauma and unresolved grief.
-
Often, especially in the early stages of addiction treatment, outpatient therapy—what we provide—isn’t enough. You may need daily group sessions, more structure, the safety of an inpatient facility, or medical stabilization. We can provide referrals for these needs, and help you connect with detox facilities, inpatient programs, intensive outpatient services, group therapy, and more. We will be here for you when you’re ready for the next step.
-
Addiction is complex, and it’s common for someone with addiction problems to also be dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or some other mental health struggle. If this is you, you’re not alone. There’s no such thing as effective addiction therapy that doesn’t also treat co-occurring mental health problems; we’ll make sure that you get the help you need to get your symptoms under control and learn healthier ways of coping. We’ll collaborate with you on deciding what to tackle first, to set you up for success.
-
We use many evidence-based modalities to treat addiction and co-occurring issues. These include mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MB-CBT), motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, trauma-informed approaches like ART or EMDR, parts work, and more.

TRADITIONAL weekly 50 MINUTE SESSIONS?
THEY DON’T WORK FOR EVERYONE

We get it. Life is hectic and full. Now more than ever, people need flexibility in how they get therapy.
