The most accommodating and willing to listen to me doctor I've ever had. I dont want any other doctor!! She's knows my past with addiction and she is dedicated to helping me stay clean!
I absolutely love my therapist Clarissa! She genuinely cares and has never made me feel like she's doing this for a check. When we have our session she shows me undivided attention ,takes notes, and remembers things from the last session.
My experience with Kalia has been amazing. I decided to try virtual therapy and I am not disappointed. I feel connected to her, just like I would in the office.

That is okay, and it is a common place to start. You do not need to have made up your mind before your first visit. Your counselor meets you where you are, helps you look at your use honestly, and works toward goals you set, whether that means cutting back or stopping.
Yes. Your sessions are confidential and your information is protected under HIPAA. Your counselor is there to support you, not to report you, with only the narrow exceptions the law requires, such as a serious risk of harm. Many clients also choose telehealth or self-pay for added privacy.
No. Care here is outpatient, so you keep living your life while you get support. If a higher level of care would ever help, your counselor talks it through with you and helps you weigh the options. The decision stays yours.
Yes. A setback is not a failure, and it does not mean counseling will not work for you. Your counselor looks at what got in the way before and builds a plan to handle those moments differently this time.
Yes. Family sessions and guidance can help you support someone you care about and cope with the strain their substance use puts on you, even if they are not ready to seek help themselves.
Your counselor provides talk-based support and can discuss whether medication might help. When it makes sense, they coordinate with a prescribing provider so your care works together.
There is no fixed number of sessions. Some people feel steadier in a few months, while others benefit from longer support. Your counselor reviews your progress with you regularly and adjusts the plan as your goals change, so you always know where things stand.
One decision can change everything. Reach out to our Charlotte team for confidential substance abuse counseling, and take the first step at your own pace.
