Substance Use & Recovery
Outpatient counseling for people questioning their relationship with alcohol or another substance, and for people already in recovery who want somewhere to do the underneath work.
Who This Is For
This is outpatient psychotherapy. It is not detox, medical withdrawal management, medication-assisted treatment, or an intensive outpatient program. Withdrawal from alcohol and some other substances can be medically dangerous and needs a physician.
If a higher level of care is the right call, Amber will tell you plainly and help you think through options rather than keeping you in a room that cannot hold it.
We look at function first: what the substance does for you, on which days, and what would need to exist instead. From there the work can draw on DBT skills for distress and impulse, CBT for the decision points, ACT for building a life your values actually recognize, and trauma work when that is what is being managed.
Twelve-step involvement, SMART Recovery, or no program at all. Amber works with whatever framework you are using rather than replacing it.
