Addiction is a complex brain-based condition that affects how we think, feel, and connect with others. It often shows up as compulsive substance use or repetitive behaviors that continue despite negative consequences. Over time, these patterns can alter brain chemistry, cloud judgment, and create emotional instability—making change feel nearly impossible to sustain alone.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we provide private, personalized addiction therapy that focuses on recovery from the inside out. Our approach integrates neuroscience, trauma-informed therapy, and practical recovery principles to help you regain control, clarity, and confidence in your life.

Therapy addresses:

• Substance use (alcohol, prescription medications, or other substances)

• Behavioral addictions (spending, eating, gambling, gaming, internet use)

• Emotional regulation, triggers, and relapse prevention

• Healing relationships damaged by addiction

• The deeper emotional or traumatic roots beneath use patterns

We understand that traditional models don’t fit everyone. Whether you’re seeking an alternative to 12-step recovery, re-engaging after treatment, or simply exploring your relationship with substances or behaviors, we offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential space to do that work.

Addiction recovery is not about perfection—it’s about progress. With the right support, healing is not only possible, but sustainable.

Relationships can be deeply rewarding—and deeply challenging. Every couple faces moments of disconnection, conflict, or uncertainty. Whether you’re struggling to communicate, rebuild trust, or rediscover intimacy, therapy provides the space to understand one another and grow together.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we offer private couples counseling that helps partners move beyond surface conflict to uncover the patterns, triggers, and emotional histories that shape their relationship. Many of these patterns stem from early attachment experiences and life events that continue to influence how we connect, argue, and repair.

Our therapists use integrative and evidence-based approaches—drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and relational models—to help couples:

• Improve communication and rebuild emotional safety

• Address intimacy issues and strengthen connection

• Heal from infidelity, mistrust, or resentment

• Manage conflict without blame or withdrawal

• Reconnect with shared purpose and partnership

We welcome all couples—regardless of orientation, identity, or relationship structure—and tailor therapy to each partnership’s unique needs. Whether you’re in crisis or simply want to deepen your connection, couples therapy offers tools to build lasting understanding and renewal.

(Updated for 2025)

Though the height of the pandemic has passed, many people are still living with its emotional aftershocks. The years of uncertainty, isolation, and disruption changed how we connect, work, and feel safe in the world. For many, that lingering stress has quietly evolved into burnout, anxiety, relationship strain, and difficulty finding balance again.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we recognize that healing from the pandemic isn’t about “getting back to normal” — it’s about re-establishing connection, purpose, and emotional resilience in a world that looks different than it did before. Our therapists specialize in helping individuals, couples, and professionals navigate:

• Chronic stress, fatigue, or loss of motivation

• Anxiety about health, safety, or change

• Increased use of alcohol or coping behaviors

• Parenting and relationship stress after prolonged uncertainty

• Grief, disconnection, and emotional numbness

We offer both in-person and virtual therapy to meet you where you are. Whether you’re rebuilding routines, redefining priorities, or simply trying to feel more grounded, therapy provides a safe space to process, recover, and grow.

Five years later, it’s clear: the effects of the pandemic didn’t end when restrictions lifted — but neither did our capacity to heal. With the right support, you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Trauma is a deeply personal response to distressing experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope. Whether it stems from a single event or years of chronic stress, trauma can change how the brain and body process safety, trust, and connection. Many people experience lasting effects long after the event is over — intrusive memories, anxiety, nightmares, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of emotional numbness.

At Louisville Health & Healing, our trauma therapists specialize in helping you safely process and release what’s been held inside for too long. We treat both acute and complex trauma, including childhood abuse, neglect, loss, medical trauma, and experiences of violence or betrayal. Using evidence-based and integrative approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and expressive therapies, we help clients restore balance, regulation, and meaning.

Common trauma symptoms we address include:

• Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts

• Emotional reactivity or detachment

• Chronic anxiety or hypervigilance

• Difficulty trusting or maintaining relationships

• Physical symptoms like tension, insomnia, or fatigue

Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about transforming how it lives within you. Our private-pay trauma therapy offers the confidentiality, pace, and depth needed to create lasting change. With compassionate guidance, you can reclaim your sense of safety, strength, and self.

Helping Teens Navigate Identity, Anxiety, and Emotional Growth

Adolescence is one of the most important — and most complex — stages of life. Between school pressure, social influence, and the constant pull for independence, many teens feel overwhelmed, anxious, or misunderstood.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we provide private, individualized therapy for teens designed to strengthen confidence, emotional regulation, and self-identity. Our licensed therapists specialize in helping adolescents explore who they are, manage stress, and make healthier choices — without judgment or shame.

Break Free from People-Pleasing, Overgiving, and Emotional Burnout

Codependency often hides behind care, love, or loyalty — yet it quietly drains our energy, self-worth, and boundaries. You may find yourself giving more than you have, feeling responsible for others’ emotions, or struggling to say “no” without guilt. These patterns are often rooted in early family dynamics, trauma, or relationships where you had to earn love by caretaking.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we help clients uncover and heal the deeper patterns that keep them stuck in unhealthy relationship cycles. Through individual therapy focused on emotional boundaries, self-identity, and inner healing, you can begin to reconnect with your own needs and rediscover your sense of self.

Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed modalities like EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and somatic and expressive therapies, helping you move beyond insight into real transformation.

We work with clients who experience:

• People-pleasing and fear of rejection

• Guilt for setting boundaries

• Emotional exhaustion or burnout

• Anxiety around others’ approval

• Difficulty trusting or letting go of control

• Cycles of resentment or dependency in relationships

Private-pay therapy offers the freedom to work on core identity and relational healing without the limitations of insurance-driven treatment plans. Together, we’ll build new ways of relating — rooted in balance, authenticity, and emotional independence.

Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.

Compassionate, Private Support for Loss and Healing

Grief is a universal experience — yet no two losses are ever the same. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a career, or a major life change, grief can leave you feeling disoriented, numb, or completely overwhelmed. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we offer private, personalized grief counseling that meets you exactly where you are. Our therapists provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process the pain of loss, make sense of shifting emotions, and rediscover meaning and hope.

We help clients who are navigating:

• Loss of a loved one, friend, or pet

• Divorce or relationship separation

• Job loss, retirement, or life transition

• Complicated or prolonged grief

• Trauma and regret related to loss

Grief often comes in waves — some days are gentler, others feel unbearable. Our therapists are here to help you ride those waves with support, reflection, and grounding. Through integrative methods like EMDR, expressive therapies, and mind-body awareness, we help clients process grief without rushing it — and build a life that honors both what was lost and what’s still possible.

“You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.
You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be.”
— Elizabeth Kübler-Ross & David Kessler

Private-pay sessions allow for depth, privacy, and flexibility — no diagnosis required, no session limits.
Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.

Rebuild Connection, Improve Communication, and Restore Balance

Every family is a system — when one part of that system changes, everyone feels it. Whether you’re navigating conflict, grief, addiction, or a major life transition, it’s easy for communication to break down and tension to take root. Family therapy helps restore balance, rebuild trust, and strengthen the bonds that hold families together.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we offer private family counseling designed to help families identify patterns, improve communication, and create healthier ways of relating. Our therapists bring warmth, neutrality, and expertise to guide families through complex dynamics — offering a safe space for each voice to be heard.

We work with families experiencing:

• Conflict or disconnection between parents and children

• Coping with a loved one’s mental health or substance use disorder

• Grief, loss, or major life changes

• Blended family challenges or divorce transitions

• Caregiver stress and long-term medical issues

Family therapy typically includes both individual sessions with each member and joint family sessions to help clarify roles, identify communication barriers, and establish shared goals. Using evidence-based and experiential techniques, we help families learn how to express needs, repair ruptures, and build emotional safety at home.

Private-pay therapy allows families to focus on what matters most — relationships, healing, and growth — without diagnosis codes or limits on care.
Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.

Find Relief, Reconnection, and Hope

Depression is more than sadness — it’s a disconnection from joy, energy, and purpose. It can quietly alter how you think, sleep, move, and see yourself in the world. For some, it feels like heaviness that won’t lift; for others, it’s numbness and fatigue that make even small tasks feel impossible.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we specialize in private, individualized therapy for depression that goes beyond symptom management. Our approach combines depth-oriented exploration with evidence-based tools to restore motivation, meaning, and balance.

Common experiences include:

• Loss of interest, motivation, or pleasure

• Fatigue and sleep disruption

• Irritability, guilt, or hopelessness

• Trouble concentrating or making decisions

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Thoughts of self-harm or “not wanting to be here”

Depression has many causes — biological, psychological, environmental — but it always deserves compassion and a tailored plan for healing. Our therapists draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mind-body techniques to help you reconnect to your internal strength and begin to rebuild a sense of aliveness.

Calm Your Mind. Reclaim Control. Live with Ease.

Anxiety can look like constant overthinking, perfectionism, or the inability to rest — even when life appears stable on the surface. It can cause sleepless nights, racing thoughts, physical tension, and an underlying sense that something bad is about to happen.

At Louisville Health & Healing, we help clients break free from chronic worry and fear through personalized, private-pay therapy. Our goal is to teach your nervous system how to relax and your mind how to feel safe again.

We treat:

• Generalized anxiety and excessive worry

• Panic attacks and health anxiety

• Performance or social anxiety

• Work-related burnout and stress

• Perfectionism and fear of failure

Using methods such as CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, we focus on both relief and long-term transformation — not just coping. Together, we’ll identify triggers, reframe beliefs, and retrain the body to respond calmly instead of reactively.

Appointments available within 7 days, in-person or virtual.
