Rafic Sabbag

Hi there, My name is Rafic, a compassionate, 15+ year experienced mental health professional specializing in integrated treatment for co-occurring Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Conditions (dual diagnosis). I am dedicated to empowering individuals with the tools and support needed to achieve lasting recovery and improved emotional well-being. My approach is client-centered, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed, ensuring a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.

I utilize evidence-based practices tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. My therapeutic toolkit includes:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and restructure negative thought patterns.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI): To enhance intrinsic motivation for change.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Techniques: For emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
• Trauma-Informed Care: To ensure a sensitive and healing approach to past experiences.
• Mindfulness-Based Strategies: To develop coping mechanisms and present-moment awareness.

A welcoming, non-judgmental environment focused primarily on information gathering, building trust (rapport), and collaboratively setting goals for your treatment journey. It's an initial assessment / "getting to know you" session for both of us to determine if we're a good fit.
