Addiction Counseling
At New Life Counseling, we believe in treating addictive disorders in a holistic and faith-based manner. We understand that addiction and addictive issues are not just physical afflictions; we acknowledge that there are also emotional and spiritual suffering and that if the individual can heal those wounds, the addiction or symptoms are easier to manage and even heal. We focus on the individual, paying attention to their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. We understand that addiction touches all of these aspects and so our focus is in healing the whole person, not just symptoms of issues.nnFaith-based counseling believes in unconditional love, forgiveness, acceptance, self-esteem, self-respect, and community. We believe that recovery is a personal journey and so we are ready to meet you where you are and to serve you no matter your faith or religious beliefs.nnDual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorders are common in individuals who struggle with drugs, alcohol, gambling, and sex addiction, including eating disorders, clinical depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar disorders, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive (OCD), panic attacks, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Our clinicians are all qualified to assist in the management of all these issues.
