Find support

The impact of addiction on families is often profound, causing immense pain and distress. Loved ones of addicts endure an emotional rollercoaster as they witness the destructive behaviors and consequences that come with addiction. They experience a range of negative emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness, and helplessness, as they grapple with the consequences of their loved one's addiction.

Family members may find themselves constantly worried about the well-being and safety of the addict, living with a sense of uncertainty and anxiety. Moreover, they may endure financial strain, strained relationships, and a sense of betrayal as their trust is repeatedly broken. Addiction can cause a breakdown in family dynamics, leading to arguments, isolation, and conflicts.

The Barnabas & Ruth Foundation is committed to redefining addiction recovery with a holistic approach that includes resources for the entire family. If you or your family are in need of counseling due to addiction-related trauma, fill out our application at the bottom of this page to receive help in your journey.

Types of Counseling

  • Individual Counseling

    Individual counseling, also known as therapy or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process between an individual and a trained counselor. It offers a confidential space to openly discuss concerns, explore emotions, and develop strategies to overcome challenges. The counseling process focuses on enhancing self-awareness, promoting personal growth, and empowering individuals to lead more fulfilling lives.

  • Adolescent Counseling

    Adolescent counseling is a process that supports young individuals in developing resilience, self-awareness, and the skills they need to thrive. Patients are able to safely explore their concerns, hopes and fears while receiving guidance and support. Teens gain fresh insights and coping skills to help them navigate this transformative life stage.

  • Family Counseling

    Family counseling, often referred to as family therapy, is a specialized branch of psychotherapy that focuses on improving the dynamics and interactions within a family unit. It's a collaborative process where a trained family counselor works with family members to address issues, conflicts, and challenges that might be causing distress. This therapeutic approach recognizes that family relationships significantly impact individual well-being and vice versa, emphasizing the interconnectedness of family members.

  • Marriage Counseling

    Marital counseling is a transformative journey that allows couples to rediscover the joy of connection and create a fulfilling partnership. This form of therapy can assist couples in resolving conflicts, improving communication, and understanding each other better. With the help of a licensed family counselor, couples can identify problems, set goals for growth, and receive emotional support.

  • Neurofeedback

    Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a therapeutic intervention that uses real-time monitoring of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain function. It is used in counseling and therapy to help individuals improve mental health, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance. Learn more.
