Addiction Counseling Services Orlando
Addiction Counseling Services Orlando and what does that entail? Many have the idea that therapy when dealing with addiction is sitting in a cold, sterile environment. This is far from true. I believe that in order for you to do the work necessary to truly understand yourself you need to have an environment conducive to feel comfortable, safe and secure.
Addiction has already left you feeling shameful, embarrassed and your self-esteem is low. You may have just gotten out of inpatient treatment and are seeking support such as life coaching or sobriety counseling. I make myself available for those in early recovery from drug addiction and alcohol abuse.

Spiritual Counseling
When spirituality counseling is combined with recovery therapy, change occurs more rapidly. Finding alignment in oneself brings about change quickly. You have a sense of connection to yourself and to spirit. Learning what passions lie beneath the surface. You start to understand that the true self emerges once the desire to numb out has ceased. Spirituality can help facilitate that shift that is internal and permanent.
