Therapy
Talk to an addiction therapist to regain hope, healing and a happy life
Désirée Kogevinas provides professional support to clients with addiction issues who wish to change their lives. The client feels secure and is no longer alone. Once addiction is halted, a fulfilling life of light and freedom awaits.
Addictions can ruin even the strongest personalities. When obsession, cravings and the use of substances and compulsive behaviours control a person’s life, their world shrinks. They may feel lonely, guilty, and desperate and ashamed. Asking help from loved ones is too difficult.
The best option is therefore to obtain professional support from an experienced addiction specialist who guides people toward recovery.
Why seeking help from an addiction
therapist is vital
As an experienced therapist supporting clients with alcohol abuse, substance use disorders and compulsive behaviours, Désirée helps clients understand why their cravings occur, providing them with the needed tools to overcome them. During therapy, clients quit – or significantly reduce – their compulsive patterns and develop healthy coping strategies. Clients strengthen their recovery and become autonomous.
Désirée supports clients in therapy to:
- Build their self-esteem and self-worth
- Reduce stress and anxiety levels
- Improve relationships with themselves and others (family, partner, work, social)
- Identify their needs and wants
- Set boundaries for healthy functional relationships.
Désirée also addresses PTSD and early childhood trauma. Trauma often leads to unhealthy survival mechanisms or coping skills.
