Relationships can be difficult, especially when substance abuse is part of the equation.
Relationships can be hard even when things are going well, but when substance abuse comes into the picture, they can get worse very quickly. It can be helpful to know where to turn when navigating relationships with substance abuse involved in the Chapel Hill, North Carolina area, as getting help can provide you and your partner with valuable skills to rebuild what might otherwise be lost. One such avenue for support is found here at Serenity4U. As a couples therapist, I’m dedicated to assisting those struggling with issues related to substance abuse and its effect on their relationship.
Substance abuse can put a lot of stress on even the best relationships, making it hard to talk to each other, trust each other, handle money, and feel emotionally stable. Both partners may feel betrayed, angry, and helpless, which makes the problems they already have even worse. As a couples therapist, I draw on more than 30 years of experience in the field and my education to assist couples in need.
I’m also a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). When you work with me for couples therapy, I’ll introduce a variety of modalities to create a customized plan that addresses your most urgent needs. I’ve also worked hard to create a supportive and safe environment so that you feel comfortable exploring these issues.
It’s important to understand that substance abuse can create codependency. As your couples therapist, I’ll look at this issue and others that might be stopping you from seeing patterns and setting healthy limits. Additionally, I’ll ensure you have the tools needed to feel confident about the decisions you make regarding the future of your relationship, your own healing, and more.
Being in a relationship with someone who is struggling with substance abuse can be hard, but with the right help, you can get through it and come out better than ever. Reach out to me today to learn more.
At Serenity4U, I am proud to be a couples therapist providing services for clients in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, Pittsboro, Durham, and Raleigh, North Carolina.
