Services
Support through addiction recovery and mental health, for you and for your family
Each of these is worked through in individual sessions, combining different therapeutic techniques according to what each person needs. Every stage of every one of them is treatable.
-
Alcohol dependency
Alcohol abuse therapy, online and in person in Miami
Alcohol dependency is a chronic and progressive disease in which the individual develops a dependence on alcohol by drinking excessively. Even when fully aware of the negative physical, psychological, social and interpersonal consequences, the person continues to drink in dangerous situations, risking their life and affecting their daily functioning.
-
Marijuana dependency
Marijuana abuse therapy, online and in person in Miami
Marijuana addiction occurs when a person cannot stop using it even when it causes medical, social and psychological disruptions. Contrary to popular opinion, marijuana can cause anxiety disorders, alterations in perception and cognitive function, aggressive behaviours and social problems.
-
Cocaine dependency
Cocaine addiction therapy, online and in person in Miami
People addicted to cocaine often show depressive symptoms, disregard for their responsibilities and interpersonal conflict, and isolate from friends and family.
-
Prescription drug dependency
Therapy for dependency on prescribed medication
People who are dependent on prescribed medication self-medicate over an extended period. They use medication unrelated to a medical condition, or take far more than the dose prescribed for that condition.
-
Other dependencies
Gambling, sex, technology, work and compulsive shopping
Many other dependencies harm mental and emotional health: sex addiction, gambling, shopping addiction, work addiction and technology addiction, among other self-destructive behaviours.
-
Codependency
Support for people with emotional dependency
Codependency is a psychological condition in which a person needs to control someone else's life, is affected by their behaviour, and shows an unhealthy attachment that reflects low self-esteem.
-
Anxiety
Therapy for anxiety disorders
We all feel anxious from time to time. However, if you are constantly, intensely and persistently worried, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder.
-
Depression
Therapy for people living with depression
Depression is a severe clinical illness that affects many aspects of life and relationships. Genetic, biological, psychological and environmental factors all contribute to it.
-
Self-esteem
Professional support for people with low self-esteem
Self-esteem begins to develop in early childhood and continues throughout life. It is the confidence in one's own worth and abilities — the perception we hold of ourselves, including our thoughts and feelings.
-
Dysfunctional relationships
From couples to children and family
Dysfunctional relationships have a great impact on emotional health. Through harmful behaviours, the people in this kind of relationship are affected, and so is the relationship itself. They are characterised by disrespect, control, jealousy and emotional blackmail, among others.
-
Poor emotional management
Support for managing what you feel
Poor emotional management leads to consequences for both physical and mental health. When we repress feelings they do not really disappear — they come back later with more serious consequences.
-
Adaptation problems
Grief, life changes and difficult transitions
Life changes bring sadness, nostalgia, fear and frustration. When going through a difficult situation such as losing a loved one, or moving into a new stage of life, we often feel overwhelmed.
Approach
My approach combines a range of therapeutic techniques in a calm, confidential setting. We address the mental, physical and spiritual aspects that help each person reach wellbeing and emotional balance.
Principles
I value the principles of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions programme: abstinence from alcohol and drugs, the willingness to change behaviours, and the support of others in sobriety.
