The shame of not being in control of your life can feel so isolating and anxiety provoking. And the thought of talking about it with someone else can feel paralyzing at times. How did I get here? Why can't I fix this on my own? Why do I keep going back? What is wrong with me? Do I have a drinking problem? Why can't I sleep? Do I need to quit or can I just cut back? Why is my relationship so difficult? These nagging thoughts could go on and on.

Sitting in a room with someone who understands the complex nature of chemical use can be incredibly comforting. Laughing at the crazy things that have happened, sitting with the sadness around your losses, and working toward a place of hope can be life changing.

Some clients will come to session with specific things they want to discuss. And other clients will lean on me to guide the session and assist in the self-exploration process. Most clients I work with say that they wished they wouldn't have waited this long to get help. For more information, feel free to check out my website at www.plantingseedsrecovery.com.

I have a special interest in how attachment style effects our ability to feel safe in our world, lean on others for connection, and be vulnerable in relationships. I'm skilled at weaving evidence based practice into the therapeutic experience without it feeling "clinical".

Groups

Sober Curious Process Groups for Professionals

Hosted by

Julia Hess

Planting Seeds Recovery offers process groups for people looking to explore what fuels their desire to drink/use and the ways it effects their life. We welcome people at all stages of their discovery process-- including people who are newly exploring patterns of use, thinking about whether cutting back or complete abstinence, help setting intentions/goals for the future, needing continued support after treatment, or wanting more from sustained recovery. Most people wish they wouldn't have waited so long to join these groups. Groups meet weekly for 1.5 hrs and have 6-10 people attending.

Beyond Recovery Process Group for Professionals

Hosted by

Julia Hess

This group is designed to continue to explore deeper existential questions that come up as we journey further into recovery. Many people in this group have moved on from the Explore Recovery Group or have found a sustained recovery practice and want to continue their work with the support of a process group. We will spend time diving into our value systems, patterns of relating, and developing personal intentions for moving toward our best life. This group meets bi-weekly 1.5 hours and allows for 6-10 people.
