Life Transitions
Major life changes can be emotionally challenging, even when they are positive. These transitions may include career changes, grief and loss, divorce, or becoming a parent. Each of these changes requires adjustment and emotional resilience.

Addiction Issues
Therapy for addiction issues in Reno, NV, helps individuals address the underlying emotional and relational patterns that contribute to substance use, rather than focusing solely on stopping the behavior. Attachment-based approaches, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), emphasize the role of connection, security, and emotional regulation in healing. Many individuals struggling with addiction have experienced trauma or attachment wounds, making it essential to build healthier coping mechanisms and supportive relationships.
