About Addiction & Substance Use - What We Treat

I can stop whenever I want…

If you’re here, maybe you’ve started to wonder if that’s really true.

How Therapy Can Help

Addiction and substance use treatment isn’t just about stopping a substance or behavior, it’s about understanding why it became part of your life in the first place. Together, we’ll explore the chain of events, emotions, and thoughts that led to using, so you can see the full picture of what’s driving the cycle.

From there, we’ll focus on:

Developing practical skills to cope with triggers and cravings.
Replacing harmful habits with healthier, more fulfilling alternatives.
Challenging destructive thought patterns that make you feel like using is the only option.
Building sustainable changes that support long-term recovery and a more balanced life.

We understand addiction and want you to know:

If you’ve been feeling trapped in a cycle you can’t seem to break, know this: there is a way forward. You are not broken. You are not hopeless. You are a human being navigating something incredibly difficult and you deserve compassion, understanding, and real tools that work.

Addictions Beyond Substances:

Not all addictions involve drugs or alcohol. You might be struggling with compulsive behaviors like:

Risky sexual activity
Gambling
Excessive TV
Social media use
Other habits that leave you feeling isolated and disconnected from the life you want

We Think This May Be Helpful…

Our approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you make shifts in both your thinking and your actions. This way, you’re not just reducing your use, you’re building a life that makes it easier to stay on track.
At Collaborative CBT, we tailor our work to your unique situation. We’ll help you understand what’s fueling these behaviors, identify what’s missing or hurting in your life, and develop healthier ways to meet those needs.
Recovery isn’t about willpower; it’s about having the right support, skills, and plan in place. Together, we can help you create a life that feels bigger than your addiction a life filled with connection, meaning, and choice
