Our services

Individual Therapy can be a transformative experience.  Clients suffering from substance use disorders often feel ashamed and hopeless, they sometimes struggle to open up.  Connecting with a therapist who understands can create a relationship, which brings the client hope for change. We are honest and empathic, direct but warm. The therapeutic relationships we build with our clients are sacred and transformative in helping them to achieve their goals, this is our mission.

At SCG we treat clients who suffer from drug addiction, alcoholism, other forms of addiction ( gambling, shopping, internet/gaming, sex), and eating disorders.  These disorders go hand and hand with trauma, depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)

At our initial appointment, we will discuss your goals for therapy.  We are interested in what you have tried that has worked, and what you have found to be not helpful.  We are solution-focused in our approach and are either trained or certified in a variety of different treatment models.  These models include but are not limited to:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Experiential Therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Motivational Interviewing
• Relapse Prevention Counseling CENAPS model

We don’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach to therapy.  Each client we serve is an individual and therefore has individual needs.  Therapy should not be geared towards what works for the therapist but what works for the client.  This is one aspect of what sets SCG apart from other therapy practices. We continually attend workshops and ongoing training to bring more tools and options to help our clients.  Together we guide them to make positive changes and transform their struggles into healthy and full lives. Our clients gain freedom, experience growth and reconnect with the path and person they lost along the way.  Helping clients who are suffering just as we once were is our greatest honor

 We are very excited to offer this service and it is a huge part of what we do at the Silk Counseling Group.  Parents often come to us unsure of the difference between helping versus enabling. They are looking for a consultant to help them find resources for themselves and their child struggling with addiction.  We can help guide you beyond the manipulations and mistakes.  

Parents are not responsible for their child’s addiction. They didn’t cause it, can’t control it, or even cure it.  However, you may have leverage and power to help guide your child towards motivation for recovery. Or maybe they are in treatment and you need ideas for aftercare and how to navigate what to do next.  This is all part of our parental coaching service. Let us help you harness the leverage you do have to the betterment of your child. We have been on their side of the fence and can spot the tricks. You don’t have to go at this alone anymore. Helping yourself in turn helps your child.

 Couples Group

Couples therapy is not only for when things seem hopeless.  Relationships can benefit from counseling when one or both partners are in active addiction, working toward abstinence or harm reduction, in early recovery, and in long-term recovery.  The fundamentals of every relationship tend to be more challenging when a couple has experienced addiction and substance use.  The goals of the group will include defining and developing effective communication, appropriate boundaries, empathy, and flexibility.  We will also work to empower each partner to bring passion and various forms of intimacy to the relationship.
