Introduction

Are You Ready for a Change? You know that feeling of being stuck? Trapped in a cycle of addiction—whether it's with alcohol, marijuana, gambling, or other substances—that's affecting your relationships, your health, and your finances. Maybe you're not sure if you want to quit completely, or you just want to find a better way to live. I'm here to tell you that you don't have to have all the answers right now. What you need is a safe space to explore your options and create a plan for a more meaningful life. ________________________________________ Who I Am I'm Jeri Jefferys, a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with over 25 years of experience. Beyond my credentials, which include being a Certified Clinical Supervisor, Master Addiction Counselor, Certified Health Coach, and International Certified Gambling Counselor—I am also a person in long-term recovery. My own lived experience gives me a unique perspective. I know firsthand that recovery isn't a "one-size-fits-all" solution but a deeply personal process. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and help you create a life that's healthy and balanced on your own terms. ________________________________________ How I Can Help I'll partner with you to make real changes in your life. Together, we'll set goals and develop a strategy that works for you. I use a variety of trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, including: • Motivational Interviewing • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) • Mindfulness/Meditation • Positive Psychology • “HOW TO DATE SOBER” Recovery Coaching Program • SMART Recovery (I'm a professional facilitator for this science-based, self-empowering program.) I believe in empowering you with the tools you need to effectively cope with life's stressors and achieve your personal goals. All sessions are confidential telehealth, with an in-person meeting location coming soon. I also facilitate a weekly in-person SMART Recovery group in Raleigh, NC, that you are welcome to join. ________________________________________ Let's Take the First Step Change can be intimidating, but you don't have to do it alone. The first step is a simple, no-cost, 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit. I'll send you a few documents beforehand so we can make the most of our time together. If you're ready to start building a healthier life, call 919.594.3607 or email livesaddictionfree@gmail.com to schedule your free consultation today.
