Substance Use Therapy
Substance Use Therapy
Substances impact our lives on a daily basis - whether we choose to partake in them or not. Exploring your relationship to substances in therapy can help you to gain important insight & make better choices for your own health & wellness. Sobriety isn’t for everyone, but health is.
At Glow Collective, substance use therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for your autonomy. We recognize that substance use often develops as a way to cope with stress, trauma, pain, or unmet needs — and that healing begins not with judgment, but with understanding.
How Substance Use Therapy Can Help
Clients seek substance use therapy to work with:
Questioning or changing their relationship with alcohol or substances
Substance use alongside anxiety, trauma, or burnout
Early recovery or long-term recovery support
Relapse prevention and coping skills
Shame, secrecy, or self-judgment related to use
Identity shifts and life transitions during recovery
Integration of insights from altered states or recovery experiences
Therapy can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and develop more supportive ways of caring for yourself.
A Non-Judgmental, Trauma-Informed Approach
Substance use therapy at Glow Collective is not about labels or rigid definitions of recovery. Instead, therapy offers space to explore your relationship with substances honestly and at your own pace. Whether your goal is harm reduction, moderation, abstinence, or clarity about what you want moving forward, therapy centers your values and lived experience.
This work is trauma-informed and mindful of how substance use can intersect with anxiety, depression, burnout, identity, relationships, and nervous system regulation.
