Alcohol Use
A compassionate conversation about alcohol use, its role in your life and the changes you want to consider.
Arrange a Free ConsultationTalk Honestly About Alcohol
You may have questions about how alcohol fits into your routine or how it affects your relationships and mental health. We can talk about those concerns without judgment, starting with what matters to you.
The concern might be a change in your routine, an argument after drinking or questions about how alcohol affects your mood. It might also be something you have been thinking about privately. You can bring those details to counseling without deciding how to label your experience. We ask what you have noticed and what you want help understanding, including the parts you are uncertain about.
Change Starts With Your Goals
Our counseling is evidence-based and individualized. We look at your strengths and resources as well as your concerns. There are many pathways of recovery, and all are worthy of celebration.
A session can include talking about when alcohol use comes up, what is happening at those times and how it affects the next day. Your relationships, responsibilities and mental health can be part of that account. We look at what already supports you as well as what feels difficult. The conversation is about your priorities, not an assumption that every person begins with the same goal.
Counselors to Consider for Alcohol Concerns
Marshall Rosier, Charra Moore and Tina Celestino are providers to read about when considering counseling for alcohol-related concerns. Their profiles present their own descriptions of their work, without replacing a conversation about your particular situation. You might ask about discussing alcohol alongside mental health, the goals you want counseling to address or a preference for one of our offices. If a biography interests you, mention the provider when you call or text the practice.
We can discuss current availability and a match during the consultation. You do not have to select a name before contacting us. Questions about clinical care, medical concerns and the kind of support you need can help distinguish counseling from services that require a medical professional.
