SMART Recovery® Therapy: an
alternative to typical substance abuse counseling programs I am providing creative and flexible outpatient counseling and educational
services based on a sensible and practical cognitive-behavioral approach called "SMART Recovery®
Therapy." My services
include substance abuse assessments, consultations, individual counseling, group psycho-educational sessions, family
counseling, and drug screening. SMART
Recovery® Therapy (SRT) is a professionally delivered, fee for service treatment model designed to
assist clients in learning to use the tools of the SMART Recovery® (SR) self-help program to “gain independence
from addictive behavior.”
Like SR, my SRT approach is abstinence based and focuses on the SR
“four point program.” Maintaining
motivation to change Coping with urges and cravings Developing
life coping skills Developing a balanced life style
SRT is an evidence based, flexible, and creative approach characterized by integrating
the following key components: The Stages of Change Model Motivational Interviewing (MI) Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
(REBT), a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Relapse
Prevention (RP) Humanistic /Existential Psychology
My SRT counseling services are individually based . I am focusing on working with
clients in individual sessions and in an optional weekly SRT group session of no more than 10 clients. Clients
may also participate in the free SMART Recovery® meetings available in the community and access the free SMART
Online (SOL) support system “24/7.” While I do not use the 12-Steps as a treatment modality, I am open to
and supportive of clients who may want to attend 12-Step meetings as well. All services are offered by appointment. Individual sessions are offered on weekdays (some early evening
hours or Saturdays may be available). Psycho-educational group sessions are offered on weekday evenings and
may be offered during the day if/when there is sufficient demand.

GETTING STARTED
Typically, one would start the process by making an appointment for an assessment or a consult.
An assessment
is indicated when a thorough clinical evaluation and recommendation is desired. A consult may be appropriate if a client has
had a recent assessment at another agency and/or wants to discuss his/her situation and concerns about how my services may
be helpful.
For appointments, referrals, or questions; please call me at 919.274.8001 or email me at, ABCSRT@aol.com Email Disclaimer: If you
desire to communicate via email I am willing to do so. However, email correspondence is usually not a secure medium
