Sammantha Andes
Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC)
Are concerned you're developing an unhealthy relationship with substances and want to cut down your use or gain/maintain sobriety? I am here to help you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with 7 years of experience. I have worked with individuals at every stage of their addiction, including clients having difficulty recognizing they have a problem, knowing they have a problem but being unsure if they want to do something about it, actively making steps towards recovery, and being in recovery. I also have experience working with clients that use substances to cope with their anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and life changes. I have experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults of all generations. Sessions will focus on establishing your own personal goals and dissecting what it will take for you to meet them. Treatment modalities such as CBT, REBT, MI, and Smart Recovery will be utilized collectively and a treatment plan will be tailored exactly to your needs and treatment goals. No individual is the same and therefore no one's journey to recovery is identical. I work to create an alliance that is built on trust and collaboration, where my clients feel heard and secure as they explore their relationship with substances and want to make changes towards cutting down or becoming/ maintaining a sober life.
