Substance Abuse Therapy Near Rockford, MI
If drinking or use has slipped from “only sometimes” into something that shapes your week, we will work with the moments it shows up in Rockford. Maybe urges rise on the drive between Wolverine Boulevard and Northland Drive, or plans downtown by the river make it harder to stick to limits.
I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor with more than 15 years in the Grand Rapids area. We choose goals that fit your values, whether sobriety or a harm reduction plan. The work stays practical and shame free, with small, trackable steps you can keep on ordinary Rockford weeks.
How I Help With Substance Use in Rockford
Spot patterns around commutes, errands, and evenings so cravings are less surprising.
Build a simple plan you can use before walking into a store, a gathering, or a restaurant.

My Approach
We combine motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning, and five minute skills you can use in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with the thoughts and rules that drive use. When it fits your goals, I may add Brainspotting to process cues that feel glued to places or sensations. If medication is part of your care, I coordinate with your prescriber so the plan stays consistent.
