How we can help you.
At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that addiction often develops as an attempt to cope with overwhelming emotions, traumatic experiences, or unmet needs. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that addressing the underlying factors driving addictive behaviors is essential for sustainable recovery, not just managing symptoms or relying on willpower alone.
What you’re longing for is possible.
Our experienced EMDR therapists utilize this powerful approach to address both the symptoms of addiction and their root causes. Through targeted therapeutic interventions, clients typically experience:
