Addictions Counseling

Asking for help can be hard, especially for individuals struggling with an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. We understand the guilt and shame that is often experienced by those with addiction issues and offer a safe, judgment-free environment to help you decide whether you or a loved one needs structured addiction treatment.

In addition, we provide after-care services to patients who have completed residential and/or intensive outpatient treatment and seek ongoing therapy to stay on track with their recovery.

Our addiction services include:

A Better Way

After struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and exercise addiction from my early adolescence, I finally found someone who could help me begin to dig into the root causes of these issues and develop a different perspective and approach to my life. I have started to learn how to appreciate myself and all that I have to offer, instead of circulating repeated negative and self-deprecating thoughts as the constant narrative in my mind. For a long time, I thought that the way I coped with my internal struggles was “good enough.” Although my journey is far from over and it requires daily work and awareness, I’ve now been shown a far better way.

So thankful!

Our family has been clients of Total Health Concepts for over a year, and we fully recommend Ginny Inglese and Crista Studer. Our journey to wellness began when our college-aged daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder. Throughout her recovery we met with Ginny, and our daughter with both Ginny and Crista, and received caring and effective individual and family relationship counseling. Our daughter is well on the road to recovery and our family has learned invaluable strategies, including effective communication skills, toward healthy couple and family relationships. We are so thankful to have been under their care and highly recommend their holistic approach to wellness.

Grateful

Thanks so much for everything you've done for me. We were talking about gifts and I've certainly been blessed by one of yours. It's not at all an exaggeration to say that Crista and J.R. have literally saved my life...so I'm just a tad grateful for the two of you. I'd been working with a bunch of different therapists and was still not headed in a good direction. So I think you guys deserve a whole lot of credit for having the insight and ability to finally make a breakthrough and help me make the progress I've needed!
