Life Skills Counseling
60 mins
Addiction is a disease that stops personal growth of the individual at the age when they begin abusing. Addicts learn how to use and abuse by any means towards the vicious cycle of the disease. During this time many crucial life skills are over shadowed by the nature of addiction. It’s ok not to know how to do when everybody else has no problem doing. With our life skills counseling we help the individual towards closing those gaps and giving them the tools to better themselves and their lives.
Recreational Counseling
- Individual
- Group
Expecting the addict to stay in recovery and being miserable and not living a fulfilled life is unacceptable. No matter how hard the active addiction is at a point it is enjoyable. Asking the addict to give up that joy and the coping skill of their life and not giving them any options to replace the joy and the satisfaction of addiction is a common mistake. We believe the journey of recovery should lead to searching for healthy ways to make one’s life more fulfilled and joyful.
Individual Therapy

We in Myrina believe, each individual is unique. Their needs are unique, having counselors understand their culture and belief systems; assessing their needs accordingly and then creating a long-term treatment plan to get them on their feet. Supporting them while they’re building their lives and staying in long-term sustainable recovery till they no longer need therapy is essential.
Group Therapy
90 mins
The foundation of addiction treatment was laid out on the concept of addicts understanding addicts. Self-help groups are not group therapy. Group therapy helps individuals while mirroring each other working on issues, guided by professionals. Using the tools given by that professional is important for the group members to work on issues that prevent growth. While they’re healing, they support one another and break the nature of denial in recovery.
Group Family Therapy

For many families having a family member addicted is a shameful situation and a supposed indicator of failing as a parent, spouse or child of an addict. The reality is no matter what the background of the individual is, they have chosen addiction as self-medication. This choice cannot be questioned, but remaining in it after all of ugliness is a conscious choice. And just like the addict, the family’s conscious choice of enabling and supporting the person’s disease and blaming themselves for everything surrounding the family and the addict is self-protective. Having a professional guide to keep you from harm’s way and give you the healthy tools towards navigating this complicated path with the help of other families is a refreshing and powerful tool.
Individual Family Therapy

For us the definition of family is who you choose to share your life with. The individuals in our lives, when they witness and the hurdles that the addict goes through, has an effect on everyone in the family. The nature of addiction is manipulative, family members become enablers, caretakers. They all develop unhealthy coping skills while everybody scrambles in the disease. Helping the family members recover at the same time as the addict is important to separate the nature of addiction and the nature of the individual. Building bridges through resentments and disappointments of the past will help everyone recover together towards a better future for the generations to come.
