It’s a new year and time for reflection, inspiration, and light. 

It was such a pleasure to meet my new friend Kimberely La Farge, Berlin, LCSW.

Kimberley La Farge Berlin, LCSW, is an Integrative psychotherapist, and Level 3 IFS (Internal Family Systems) practitioner specializing in addiction and trauma. She has been providing expert clinical, consulting and training services worldwide for the past 20+ years. 
 
Her approach is grounded in spiritual traditions, merging ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience.As a person in long-term recovery, Kimberley knows the struggles of anyone seeking to recover from alcohol and/or other substance use disorders. 

Her own journey inspired her decades of research, writing, and presentations at regional, national, and international conferences.
 
Kimberley is a former professional dancer, an avid photographer, chef, and gardener. She lives in Leesburg, Virginia, with her husband and four rescue dogs.

Kimberley’s newest book, titled "Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction

Alcohol and substance abuse disorders have baffled medical practitioners for centuries. Addiction is more than a neurological or physical disorder. It is a malady that eats at the soul. Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction merges ancient wisdom with neuroscience and introduces the powerful effects of spiritual practices to heal the overall damages of addiction. It answers the questions, “What is spirituality, how do we find it, nurture it, and live it – and how do we apply it to healing from a soul-crushing disease?”

Unlike most books on the market that discuss “meditation” as a tool for recovery, this book discusses “spirituality” (of which meditation is a part) as a path to recovery. While neuroscientists have proven that spiritual practices positively affect and heal brain areas, no book has taken the wisdom of ancient spiritual guidance and applied it to treating addiction. It takes a unique and proven approach that breaks through outdated ideas to bring a sea-change in how we can achieve long-term recovery.
