La Jolla Healing Center, my name is Kamran and I’ve been in recovery over 30 years. I know how lonely it gets, I have been there.

“Are you feeling tired, ashamed, hopeless…. Can’t keep up with your daily routine, emotional for no reason?

Have you told yourself ‘I will not do this anymore’ and find out you are not able to? I can help you. I specialize in various types of addictions. Addiction is a symptom, not the cause. I work with people that are suffering from alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, and most dual diagnoses. My style is cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and coaching.

I believe we can change addictive behavior by changing our belief system and recognizing denial patterns. The three most common problems people suffer from addiction are compulsive behavior, instant gratification, and not self-soothing.

With education, individual and group therapy, we can regain the confidence and self-respect we have lost. I believe in the spiritual AND cognitive aspects of recovery, and use both in individual and group sessions. I am comfortable working with people of various ages, genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds. It’s important to me to create for my clients, a comfortable and safe environment with love and understanding.”
