You didn’t start here.
You didn’t start with addiction. You started with survival — and substances became the shield.
But now, you’re ready for something more.
You’re ready to stop fighting your own body.
You’re ready to trust yourself again.
At Thrive Well Therapy, I offer trauma-informed substance abuse counseling in Las Vegas and online across Nevada and New Jersey — rooted in trust, not shame.
You don’t have to be perfect to begin. You just have to want something different.
This isn't about hitting your bottom.
It's about finding your beginning.
Start Here — No Pressure. Just One Honest Step at a Time.
1. Book a Free 20-Minute Consult
No forms. No scripts. Just a quiet space to ask questions, share what’s real, and see if this feels like a safe place to land.
2. Build a Plan That Meets You Where You Are
Whether you're working toward sobriety or seeking harm reduction, we’ll co-create a therapy plan that honors your pace, your story, and your nervous system.
3. Begin Healing — Gently, Steadily, Together
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating space for you to breathe, feel, and begin again — with support that sees your strength and your softness.
It’s Not Just About Quitting.
It’s About Rebuilding Self-Trust.
Signs you might be ready for this work:
✔ Feeling stuck in guilt, shame, or fear after substance use
✔ Doubting your ability to stay sober or manage moderation
✔ Longing for relationships that feel safe — but feeling disconnected
✔ Struggling with emotional regulation without numbing
✔ Feeling like you’ve lost parts of yourself to addiction
You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through this.
This isn’t just support for your symptoms — it’s care for your story.
If You’re Wondering If It’s Possible — It Is.
You don’t have to be "sure."
You don’t have to have a 5-year plan.
You just have to want more than survival.
Recovery isn’t perfection. Recovery is permission.
You just have to want something different.
Recovery isn’t perfection. Recovery is permission.
Permission to heal, to hope, to begin again — at your pace, in your way.
You woke up tired — again.
Not just physically, but soul-tired. Tired of hiding, of lying, of promising tomorrow will be different.
The nights blur. The mornings ache. And the only thing that numbs the shame… is the thing causing it.
This isn’t failure. This is a body doing its best to survive.
And therapy?
Therapy is the moment you stop surviving it alone.

How Trauma-Informed Therapy Helps with Substance Abuse Recovery
There is no “good” or “bad” here.
There’s just you — doing the bravest work there is.
My approach is flexible, compassionate, and trauma-informed:
✔ Harm Reduction or Abstinence — your goals are honored, not imposed.
✔ Motivational Interviewing — exploring your reasons for change, not anyone else’s.
✔ EMDR — healing the traumas that made substances necessary in the first place.
✔ CBT — rewiring old survival thoughts into grounded, self-trusting ones.
✔ Mindfulness & Somatic Work — learning how to feel without fear.
And staying connected to yourself — even when it’s hard.
This isn’t about fighting yourself.
It’s about learning to live with yourself — fully, gently, fiercely.
