Understanding Addiction

Addiction can manifest in two primary ways: substance dependence (such as addiction to heroin) and behavioral addiction (such as addiction to gambling). While the perceived harm may differ, both types of addiction can severely impact an individual’s life, including relationships with family and friends and performance at school or work. Addiction counseling can help prevent the ongoing damage that addiction can cause.

Signs and Symptoms of Addiction

Addiction can show up in various ways. Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Uncontrollable desire to use a substance or engage in an activity despite knowing its harmful effects
  • Feelings of shame, hopelessness, and guilt
  • Obsession with the object of addiction, organizing life around gaining access to the substance or behavior
  • Engaging in risky behavior, leading to legal or financial issues

Who Is at Risk of Developing Addiction?

Addiction can affect anyone, but certain risk factors can increase the likelihood, including:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Gender
  • Pre-existing mental health conditions
  • Family history of addiction
  • Environmental factors

Geneen is an absolutely wonderful therapist. She is extremely genuine and creates a safe non-judgemental space in our sessions. She is very patient, kind and wonderful at assisting in problem solving. She is a very active listener and demonstrates unconditional positive regard. She has great communication skills. As a retired therapist myself, I could go on and on about just what a great therapist she is.

Christy made me feel comfortable right away. I had been working with another local therapist who I loved, but who is moving and I was nervous about switching. But Christy has been fantastic already just in our first two visits. Would definitely recommend Christy and Thriveworks
