Dual Diagnosis Therapy

Compassionate Support for Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health

At Restored Minds Therapy, mental health and substance use therapy, sometimes called dual diagnosis, offers a space to explore the connection between emotional well-being and behavioral challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, managing depression or anxiety alongside substance use, therapy provides a space to be seen and supported. I work with adults navigating the complexities of co-occurring concerns and wanting to better understand how their experiences intersect. Our sessions are collaborative and supportive, focused on building insight, stability, and meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you.

The Benefits of Dual Diagnosis Therapy

Dual diagnosis therapy can help you better understand the connection between substance use and mental health. Many people begin therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Over time, therapy can support you in exploring your experiences, building coping tools, and developing more compassionate ways of relating to yourself. Together, we focus on emotional regulation, practical recovery support, and strengthening relationships that matter to you. This work is not about being fixed, it’s about creating space to heal, grow, and reclaim your sense of self in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.
