Therapy and clinical mental health counseling give individuals the chance to work one-on-one with a licensed professional counselor who can help them navigate past traumas, process their emotions, understand mental health symptoms, and uncover the root causes of their addictive behavior.
Substance abuse and addiction are often connected to mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, and a trained therapist can help a client understand how these conditions connect to one another and connect to their addiction.
