Addiction
Virtual therapy anywhere in Texas
At first, it took the edge off.
A drink to relax. A pill to sleep. A vape hit, just to get through the meeting.
Now it’s running the show and you’re over here Googling “Am I an addict?” with one hand and reaching for the wine with the other.
Maybe you’ve tried to quit. Maybe you’ve white-knuckled it through a few days or weeks.
But the crash always comes. Shame. Regret. Promises to do better. Then… back at square one. Again.
Clarity. Calm. Control.
Words you haven’t felt in a while—but damn, they feel good when they show up.
You start identifying the real triggers, not just avoiding them blindly.
There’s more space between the urge and the action. More self-trust. More mornings without that pit in your stomach.
Recovery isn’t about perfection. It’s about choice. And it’s about time you got yours back.
Why work with us?
Our therapists have been in the trenches of addiction treatment for years, on both sides of the chair. They blend professional expertise with human-level honesty and a full toolkit of trauma-informed methods.
You won’t get shamed, lectured, or handed a cookie-cutter “just say no” plan.
At Novus, we’ll help you make sense of the mess, take your power back, and build a recovery plan that actually fits your life.
Who this type of therapy is for:
→ Folks who drink, use, or scroll to avoid feelings—and know it’s becoming a problem
→ People who’ve tried recovery before but didn’t feel fully seen or supported
→ Clients who want help with the why behind their patterns, not just the behavior
→ Those navigating both trauma and addiction (spoiler: they’re usually linked)
→ Anyone ready to stop spiraling and start healing—with zero shame and full support
Let’s get started.
