Individual Counseling

At Sean Bourgeoise LADC-1, we offer specialized support for individuals struggling with their mental health and relationship with substances. Our counseling approach integrates evidence-based practices using a holistic approach. Here's a detailed look at what we offer:

Comprehensive Assessment

Our process begins with a thorough assessment to gain a deep understanding of your substance use history, mental health, and familial relationships. This evaluation involves exploring various aspects of your life, including patterns of substance use, its impact on your relationships, and any contributing factors such as past trauma or current stressors. By gathering this information, we create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and helps set clear, achievable goals for your journey to becoming your best self.

Substance Use Counseling

Our individualized substance use counseling focuses on addressing the core issues that contribute to your substance use. We employ evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, to help you explore and understand the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with your substance use. Through these therapeutic approaches, we work together to develop effective strategies for managing cravings, coping with triggers, and making positive changes that support a healthier, substance-free lifestyle.

Addressing Limiting Thoughts

Limiting thoughts and self-doubt can significantly hinder your progress and overall quality of life. In our counseling sessions, we work to identify and challenge these negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. By employing cognitive restructuring techniques, we help you reframe your thinking and develop a more positive and empowering mindset. This process is essential for overcoming internal barriers, building self-esteem, and fostering a more optimistic outlook on life.

Processing to Get to the Root Causes

Understanding the underlying causes of your challenges is crucial for effective treatment. We delve into past experiences, unresolved trauma, and other contributing factors that may be influencing your current struggles. Through exploratory and therapeutic techniques, we help you process these root causes, gain insight into their impact on your substance use and mental health, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This deeper level of processing aims to address the foundational issues and facilitate meaningful and lasting change.

At Sean Bourgeoise LADC-1, our goal is to support you in every aspect of your life journey. By offering tailored interventions and compassionate guidance, we strive to help you achieve a fulfilling, balanced life free from destructive patterns and enriched with positive relationships and personal growth.
