My approach to addiction is to examine the underlying thoughts, feelings and beliefs about oneself that lead to self destructive behaviors. Often, these thoughts, feelings and beliefs are the result of various types of trauma. My treatment of preference for trauma is EMDR, which I have been using since 2001. The popular expression: "time heals all wounds" is not true, in my experience. Unless a person reprocesses their pain, it does not go away with time. In addition to EMDR, I also offer individual and group psychotherapy so that my client is able to live a happier and more productive life.
