Substance Abuse Support in Richardson, TX
At CWK Counseling in Richardson, TX, I know that substance abuse doesn’t just impact the person using — it affects everyone around them. The chaos, confusion, grief, and frustration can leave families stuck in a loop of fear, over-functioning, and emotional burnout. That’s why I offer therapy that’s grounded, direct, and deeply compassionate — so you can begin healing, set healthy boundaries, and stop carrying what isn’t yours.
​
Whether you’re in Texas, Florida, Alabama, Colorado, or Louisiana, I offer online therapy and telehealth substance abuse support that meets you where you are — in real life, in real time, without added stress.
What Is Substance Abuse Support?
Substance abuse support isn’t just about “fixing” the person struggling with addiction. It’s about helping you — the parent, partner, sibling, or loved one — figure out how to live in the mess without losing yourself. This kind of therapy helps you untangle dysfunctional dynamics, get clear on your boundaries, and reclaim your emotional footing. Because surviving addiction in the family system requires tools, not just grit.
How CWK Counseling Navigates Substance Abuse Support for Families
At CWK Counseling, I use a blend of therapeutic approaches to support families impacted by substance use — all grounded in compassion, boundaries, and emotional clarity.
​
Family Systems Theory
Family System Theory helps us examine the deeper family dynamics — the roles, rules, and generational patterns that may be fueling the dysfunction. Together, we work to set boundaries that protect connection rather than rupture it, interrupt the cycles of enabling and resentment, and communicate with more clarity and less guilt or emotional blowups.
​
Internal Family Systems
IFS offers language and structure for the parts of you that are overwhelmed, angry, or trying to fix everything. Whether it’s the helper, the avoider, or the part of you that feels responsible for everyone, IFS helps reduce reactivity, increase emotional regulation, and build more inner stability — no matter what’s going on around you.
​
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
ART is a powerful tool for addressing the emotional landmines that addiction can leave behind — trauma, betrayal, grief. ART allows you to release the charge from past events without having to relive them, so you can calm your nervous system, stop walking on eggshells, and respond to today with more peace and clarity.
​
This work isn’t about controlling the outcome — it’s about helping you reclaim your own steadiness, truth, and peace in the midst of the chaos.
