Williamsville Wellness offers addiction treatment based on individual needs. This means that we tailor our approach to each person, taking into account their unique circumstances. Our focus is on helping people heal their mind, body and spirit.
Therapists at Williamsville Wellness implement multiple approaches based on individual needs to address addiction and mental health problems. Therapy approaches include:
Mindfulness is the practice of maintaining a present focus on our thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and surrounding environments without creating judgment. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. This is particularly helpful for individuals who have difficulty tolerating emotional experiences. Patients will have plenty of opportunities to practice mindfulness meditations in therapy with our mindfulness coach.
Telephonic, or video conference sessions with family is critical for optimal for long-term recovery and wellness and is consistent with our treatment model. Patients are expected to engage in family session(s) with the clinical staff. Through family therapy, loved ones will be educated on addiction and learn how the entire family can support the patient. Family therapy consists of online sessions and include meetings with psychologists, therapists, and peer counselors to address areas such as recovery planning, rebuilding trust, parenting, and establishing emotional safety.
Group therapy is a commonly used treatment modality for individuals suffering from addiction. Our group sessions tend to focus on interpersonal processing, skills building, and psychoeducational material to promote recovery.
Work with a therapist to address issues surrounding the expression of anger. Learn and practice techniques for reducing distress and responding to feelings of anger effectively and assertively. Anger management is based on the premise that anger is a normal emotion when expressed appropriately.
Confidential testing identifies strengths and weaknesses of our patients, including an analysis of their personality characteristics and cognitive capacity. Testing is just one tool we use to help the patient understand the core issues leading to their addictive behavior.
Seeing others who have struggled with drug or alcohol addiction and have been able to live successfully in recovery provides hope and inspiration for those still trapped by addiction. Support and guidance from others in recovery becomes a powerful motivator and a beacon of hope for our patients.
Our peer counselors help patients understand the 12-Step philosophy and facilitate step-work with patients. Patients attend on-site 12-Step meetings each week while in our program. In addition, the 12-Step philosophy can be integrated into individual sessions.
For patients who are ambivalent about 12-step philosophy, Williamsville Wellness also offers a 12-step alternative program: SMART principles for recovery.

There is no single cause of gambling addiction. It is believed that pathological gambling may be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors. For some people, gambling can become a way to cope with stress or escape from problems. Gambling can also be a way to make money, but it often results in financial problems over time. Gambling addiction can also stem from mental health disorders like ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and impulse control disorder.
An addiction to gambling can also be seen when the reward pathways in the brain are altered. When a person has a gambling addiction their brain’s reward system becomes stimulated in the same way as a person struggling with alcohol or drug addiction.
