Internet addiction is when a person spends a significant amount of time using the internet, so much that it interrupts their daily life.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions therapists use may include behavioral techniques that help individuals use the internet less frequently, such as goal setting, thought stopping, and practicing alternative behaviors to lessen the frequency of use.
The goal of therapy is to reduce the behavior, so people may benefit from cognitive, behavioral, or environmental changes depending on their specific situation.

Our mission is to be the supportive ally th...
I believe in the desire and ability of each of us to grow and to become our best selves. More than ability, really - this is our propensity, our basic nature. I remember as a high school student learning about tropism, about how plants turn toward the sun. I was fascinated with that, and still am. But life intrudes. We're told we can't do that, we are not this way. There may have been trauma. W...

Beautiful people do not just happen." ~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross I am a dedicated mental hea...

Life can present us with many seasons. Are you running a good pace in a marathon, sure of where you are headed? Or are you out to sea, fearful of drowning?

We only feel worse. I assure you, you are not...
