AA not your cup of tea? Come see me. With over 24 years of experience & my continuing love of science, I offer practical up-to-date evidence-based best practices along with warm understanding. I'm active-directive, not just reflective; I'm empathic and not confrontational. You'll feel understood & accepted. Discover, commit & ACT on your higher values. Let me show you how to overcome unnecessary suffering, get motivated, accept yourself unconditionally, act assertively without guilt, & change harmful addictive behaviors without (or with) 12-Steps spirituality. Cut down or quit; you choose. Call me & let's jump start your changes.
To end addictions, what really works? Research findings at: http://www.behaviortherapy.com/whatworks.htm will surprise you. I hold psychology's highest credential: The Certificate of Proficiency - Treatment of Alcohol & Other Psychoactive Substance Use Disorders; edited The SMART Recovery Handbook (2004); know the research and have skills to help you.
I respect your world view: Deist, Theists, Atheist ... but my methods are based on research and reason; not faith. A Fellow of the Albert Ellis Institute for REBT (like CBT), I now embrace Acceptance & Commitment Therapy; & Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. I enjoy my work and look forward to working with you.
ServicesI support and recommend the free self-empowering self-help groups: SMART Recovery (for abstinence - a science-based secular approach) and Moderation Management (a program also based on science and secular values).
I AM HE AND MY PRACTICE IS NOW CALLED: HENRY STEINBERGER PhD, LLC. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NO LONGER ASSOCIATED WITH "ADVANCED PSYCHOTHERAPY & RECOVERY OPTIONS" - THAT NAME WAS TAKEN/STOLEN BY MY EX-PARTNER.
