Connecticut MFT Offices to Focus on Drug Abuse

From Manhattan MFT: Manhattan Marriage and Family Therapy, PLLC (www.ManhattanMFT.com) has opened doors of its Stamford, CT and Darien, CT satellite offices. Connecticut MFT will focus its therapeutic practice on addiction prevention and recovery, family healing, and couples therapy.

MMFT’s Connecticut offices are led by Dr. Amanda Craig, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Board-approved Supervisor, and Clinical Director of Manhattan Marriage and Family Therapy. Dr. Craig will bring with her nearly 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Her multifaceted expertise includes working with issues of depression, anxiety, addiction, life harmony, and relationship issues such as communication, conflict resolution, and infidelity.

The opening of the Connecticut offices is in part inspired by the uphill battle the communities in Darien and Stamford are facing in addressing the epidemic of heroin abuse among adolescents and adults. Dr. Craig has dedicated much of her career to studying and understanding the root causes and lifestyle choices that lead to substance abuse and other self-destructive behaviors. She hopes to parlay her extensive experience, which includes administering a substance abuse program for incarcerated youth, into a catalyst for change.

Dr. Craig is passionate about her work and is committed to helping local community get well. She hopes that Connecticut Marriage and Family Therapy will serve as a safe haven and a place to heal for individuals and families.

Dr. Craig believes that Family and Lifestyle Harmony is the key to preventing substance abuse. By addressing the mounting pressures that cause individuals to seek respite in the drugs and other substances, she has helped many to recover, reduce the risk of relapse, and help heal the wounds that drug abuse inflicts on everyone in the family.

In addition to private counseling, Dr. Craig will also teach her acclaimed Life Harmony workshop, aimed at alleviating the stress of high-pressure lifestyle and creating balance.
