Therapy for Internet Addiction

Compassionate and Confidential Care

Digital Health

Therapy can help you break free from internet addiction so you can reclaim your focus and move towards the life you always envisioned—a life where you give relationships your full attention and are truly present for the beauty and wonder of the world.

When your ability to think clearly returns, adult responsibilities feel manageable and it’s easier to keep burnout at bay while you advance in your career or invest in your family.

If you find your online behavior problematic and it feels like you can’t stop despite the negative consequences, therapy can help. If you feel like you’re ignoring what matters most, running away from something painful, or avoiding your real life in favor of a virtual one, you are not alone and change is possible.

Time feels like it’s moving faster, but it’s not. You are frazzled from tech…and it may be time to correct course.

Behavioral Addiction Recovery

Although it feels impossible to break free from well-traveled habits, it is possible. There are evidence-based options to help you change the way you engage with digital technology and you don’t have to do it on your own. Don’t let embarrassment or shame stop you from seeking help. Therapy will work with you on a realistic plan for healthier digital behavior.

It’s common to experience a period of psychological discomfort when we stop addictive tech. The discomfort can feel like anxious preoccupation, strong cravings, irritability, dysphoria, grief, and depression. A therapist can help you move through these periods safely, with courage and self-compassion.

Recovery from internet addiction isn’t easy and it’s an ongoing process. Therapy can help you identify and manage your triggers to get back on track in the event of a relapse. Little by little you will move towards your goals and model for others what it means to use tech wisely.

Freedom from internet addiction promotes:

  • Increased focus and concentration

  • Increased mental and physical health

  • Decreased anxiety and hyper-vigilance

  • Completion of important tasks and projects

  • Reduced feelings of fatigue and overwhelm

  • Deeper social connections in real life

  • Better, more restorative sleep

  • Feeling like you’re living a life of meaning, purpose, and integrity

  • All that distracting yourself with devices may be contributing to your depression and anxiety. It’s pretty exhausting avoiding yourself all the time. I wonder if experiencing yourself in a different way might give you access to new thoughts and feelings, and help you feel more connected to yourself, to others, and to the world.
