Substance use counseling can be as personalized as an individual's experiences with substances. For some of us, addiction is a reality and we need to make a change. For others, we're not sure whether our substance use has become a problem, but we might be wondering if we should consider making a change to our use. Regardless of where you fall regarding your use, if you are concerned, then discussing substance use counseling with Dr. Petursson might be helpful. 

Are you experiencing difficulties at home, work, school, and other areas in your life that are causing distress and further problems? ADHD could be one potential explanation. An evaluation can help with finding an accurate diagnosis and determining whether ADHD or another issue is the cause of your concerns. This evaluation can provide recommendations and help guide treatment to improve the quality of your life.

Chronic pain can feel like you’re living in a box, one that restricts where you go and what you do. While we may not be able to change the chronic pain, we can change how you interact with it and how you engage in your life. Improving the quality of your life is possible, even when chronic pain is present.

If areas in your life have been feeling overwhelming and you believe it might be time for a change, individual therapy can be a great step to making that change. Individual therapy provides a safe, confidential space in which you can explore the issues, the potential steps, and start taking action when you are ready.
