Substance Use

Have you ever wondered if your substance use is problematic? Using alcohol and drugs to help cope with pain, discomfort, trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, and more is very common. Yet more people than not that use substances of any kind report using substances in excess at least once in their lives.

Substance use is different for everyone, and use of any kind and in any frequency can be problematic. Whether you use alcohol and/or drugs infrequently or daily, if it’s bothering you, it may be a habit worth changing.

Psychotherapy for Women provides safe and supportive care to individuals struggling with their relationship with alcohol and drugs. We are here to help you examine this relationship, decrease your use to a level that is more supportive of your health and well-being, learn healthier coping strategies, decrease risk for relapse, and connect with positive support.
