Substance Use &
Chemical Dependence
You set the pace. We’re here to help you, every step of the way.
Substance Use Therapy:
Reclaim Control, Heal at the Root
Turning to alcohol, cannabis, or other substances often starts as a way to manage stress, numb pain, or cope with trauma. But over time, what once felt helpful can begin to take more than it gives—impacting your health, relationships, and self-worth.
If you’re questioning your use, seeking moderation, or ready for sobriety, therapy can help you understand the patterns beneath your habit and support you in building healthier ways forward.
Compassionate Support for Lasting, Sustainable Recovery
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
You don’t need to hit “rock bottom” to benefit from support. Many people seek help when they notice:
Using substances to unwind, sleep, or manage emotions
Guilt, secrecy, or shame around use
Struggling to cut back despite good intentions
Energy, motivation, or memory being impacted
Strain in relationships or responsibilities
At Caretta Counseling, we take a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach. We don’t shame your choices—we listen, explore the context of your life, and walk with you toward healing.
Therapy can help you:
Identify the emotional roots of your substance use
Develop sustainable coping strategies and routines
Manage cravings and triggers
Rebuild trust in yourself and your choices
Address underlying anxiety, depression, or trauma
Set boundaries with others—and with yourself
You set the pace. Whether your goal is harm reduction, moderation, or full sobriety, we’ll meet you where you are and support real, sustainable recovery.
