Confidential, in-depth treatment is provided for everything from sexual compulsion and pornography addiction,  gambling addiction,  substance and alcohol addiction, and other behaviors causing distress.

Addiction Issues

Trauma

Some form of trauma typically underlies nearly all conditions, including addiction. Whether related to addiction, family-of-origin issues, or abuse, shock trauma or complex trauma can reverberate through every facet of our lives.

Co-Occurring Disorders

A dual diagnosis is the presence of two or more disorders at the same time. Those dealing with addiction or relationship issues often have a co-occurring substance use disorder or mental health condition.

Relationships

Relationships are an important part of life. Whether seeking strategies to communicate better with a loved one, feeling stuck in a cycle of conflict, or a family impacted by the consequences of addictive behaviors, there is hope.

Let’s create change together.

My family and I have had many conversations with Stephen, and I’m always impressed with the way he listens intently to fully understand what is being said. He doesn’t jump to conclusions and cares deeply about the heart of each person. I’m impressed with his passion for helping people find freedom from hurt, brokenness, addiction, and hopelessness. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a listening ear, a gentle approach, and in-depth counseling.
