Substance Abuse and Addiction Counseling in Bethlehem, PA—Counselors and Therapists at Thriveworks Lehigh Valley

Mental health professionals possess a wide skillset, which allows them to help their clients with a wide array of challenges. For instance, a client might present anxious thoughts that make focusing at work feel completely impossible; in this case, the counselor can help the individual to understand the source of their anxiety and intervene with healthier thoughts. In another instance, a client might come to therapy in search of healing after her marriage of 5 years came crashing down; in this case, a counselor can help her to understand what happened to her relationship and determine steps for building a happy, healthy life again.

The gist is this: counselors help their clients to better understand the challenge they face and an effective solution for overcoming said challenge. This framework proves effective in many cases, including in addiction counseling. The counselors and psychologists at Thriveworks Bethlehem who specialize in addiction counseling aim to assist their clients in understanding their problematic habits, identifying healthier behaviors, and ultimately learning to manage their addiction in their day-to-day. They’ll utilize their special skills and their extensive training to help you live better.

Do I Need Substance Abuse Counseling?

Often, those who struggle with substance abuse don’t think they have a problem—or, they’re scared to admit they might have a problem. But in all reality, their habits are causing them serious distress and changing life as they know it: they’re calling out sick on Mondays, they’re spending less and less time with family, and they’re missing out on important milestones of adulthood. In addition to failing their responsibilities and missing out on important social as well as occupational activities due to their substance use, these individuals…

  • Are constantly craving the substance
  • Spend a significant amount of time using and recovering from the effects
  • Have tried to cut back on their consumption but haven’t succeeded
  • Continue to use even when it causes them distress
  • Use the substance even when it poses a serious danger to their health or wellbeing
  • Have to use more and more of the substance to achieve desired effects
  • Experience withdrawal symptoms when they aren’t using

Do any of these symptoms above hit close to home? The professionals at Thriveworks Bethlehem want to help you manage these symptoms and adopt healthier habits. If you think that you could benefit from substance abuse counseling, help is available today.

How Does Substance Abuse Counseling Work?

The first step in managing your addiction is booking an appointment with a mental health professional. After they evaluate your specific symptoms, understand your challenge(s) and therapy goals, they’ll be able to design your counseling sessions around what will prove most helpful to you.

Kenneth Fulton has been my psychologist for over a year and a half. He has brought meaning back to my life, after losing my mother in February 2020 and dealing with covid. I can never put into words what his counseling has done for me. I went from a very dark place back into the light again. He's the greatest at what he does. I could go on and on about this counselor but that would take too long. Thank you Ken for everything you've done.

Through my sessions with Lora I’ve been able to stop doubting myself and my capabilities. My life has changed drastically for the better through her teachings and spot-on feedback. I started seeing Lora because I was going through a tough breakup and not only were we able to acknowledge the toxicity of that relationship, we were also able to tackle my productivity issues at work and I have since completely turned my career around. I feel as though I’ve been running with a ton of weight on my shoulders and Lora was able to guide me on how to liberate myself from all of these burdens and run freely! Thank you Lora, don’t know where I’d be without ya!

I worked with Christiana for nearly four years in a clinical setting. In our agency, she was known as a compassionate counselor and was very sought-after by clients because of her caring nature and ability to hold clients accountable when needed. Her solid clinical skills made her a colleague I could always count on for solid feedback and a very thorough way of addressing client needs. She was able to look at clinical issues from multiple perspectives and with a real sense of fairness and respect for the client. Christiana is a rare find in this field!
