The approach centers on helping people with their recovery efforts and uncovering their potential to lead a life of wellness. Work together focuses on identifying what is holding someone back from a life of happiness, and on defining goals that move toward what supports a fulfilling life. Individual therapy is described as helpful for increasing self-awareness, coping skills, communication skills, gaining a fresh perspective, life transitions and self-exploration, and as a place to start for those new to therapy. Group therapy addresses life transitions, relationship skills, reducing isolation, finding your voice, learning about yourself and developing social support, and can serve as an affordable alternative to individual therapy. Affected Others counseling is offered for those who care about someone struggling with addiction.
