Change the patterns that keep you stuck.

Whether you are dealing with conflict or distance in a romantic relationship, challenges with family or friends, concerns about substance use, or a combination, therapy offers a place to understand the pattern and practice a different response.

Relationships and families

Work on communication, recurring conflict, trust, infidelity, parenting concerns, and feeling disconnected in romantic relationships, friendships, or family relationships. These concerns deserve attention whether or not substance use is involved.

Individual recovery

Explore relapse patterns, triggers, ambivalence, shame, cravings, emotional avoidance, and the practical work of building a sustainable recovery life.

Codependency and boundaries

Clarify the difference between support and control, recognize patterns of enabling when relevant, and build boundaries that protect both people.

The way we relate to ourselves and others can change through practice.

What we may work on

Work that applies beyond the therapy hour.

  • Recognizing recurring reactions in relationships and what triggers them
  • Improving communication and responding to conflict with more intention
  • Rebuilding trust and clarifying boundaries
  • Challenging rigid beliefs, avoidance, and shame
  • Building distress tolerance and skills for regulating emotions
  • Planning for cravings and relapse when substance use is part of the picture
  • Integrating principles of the 12 Steps when they fit your goals

You do not need to arrive certain.

It is common to feel pulled in different directions about a relationship or a personal change. Motivational Interviewing helps us explore what matters to you and what has made change difficult.

Also supported

Support for the rest of your life.

Therapy can also address anxiety, depression, anger, grief, confidence, life transitions, infidelity, and parenting stress, whether or not substance use is involved.

Lovett Therapy & Recovery provides psychotherapy, not detoxification or medical management. Anyone at risk for dangerous withdrawal or needing a higher level of care will be referred to appropriate medical or treatment resources.
