Drugs? Alcohol? Other Addictions?
Not Sure How to Deal with Them?
Find the Solution that Works for You!

Hi, I am Brian Murphy M.Ed., LCSW, I'm a psychotherapist, and I made Self-Led Solutions because I don't believe there are enough alternatives out there for people with drug and alcohol issues. My approach lets you work at your own pace towards goals that make sense to you. I am collaborative, flexible, and totally committed to what it takes to help you change.

Change is not easy for anyone, but I can help you get there with two very different methods: Positive Change Coaching and Inner-Directed Therapy.

• When your bad habit can be controlled by behavioral interventions, like setting goals and strategizing around particular “triggers,” Positive Change Coaching will help you moderate or eliminate your problem. You can start on that now, by requesting the Self-Led Solutions Toolkit.
• When your substance use is more about coping with painful or difficult emotions, Inner-Directed Therapy will help you heal the wounds that drive your use. It is a combination of EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy, two types of therapy that gently go deep inside, to the places where real and lasting healing can take place. It is not conventional “talk” therapy, and it's very focused on fixing your drug/alcohol issue, and the bad stuff that underlies it.

And here's what you can do for yourself now, in the next few minutes:

• Ask all the informational/emotional questions you like at Ask The Therapist, and I'll give you a totally confidential, personal answer.
• Order the Self-Led Solutions Toolkit, a new and exciting program to help you get your drug/alcohol use under control.
• Do the Self-Led Assessments, where you can figure out if the problem on your shoulders is a mouse or a giant gorilla – and then figure out what to do about it.

I am based in New York City, but I can work with you anywhere by phone. So, good luck, and remember: You are the solution.
