Therapy for Sober Curious Dads
Exploring a Healthier Relationship with Alcohol and Other Substances.
Becoming a father often prompts men to reassess their habits and lifestyle choices, including their relationship with alcohol. If you're a dad curious about reducing or eliminating alcohol from your life, you're not alone. At Verve Psychotherapy, we offer compassionate therapy for sober curious dads to support your mental well-being, help you explore healthier coping strategies, and strengthen your family connections.
What Does "Sober Curious" Mean?
Being "sober curious" involves questioning your drinking habits and exploring the benefits of reducing or eliminating alcohol, even if you don’t identify as having a drinking problem. Many fathers choose this path as they seek greater emotional presence, better health, and stronger family relationships.

Social Pressure: Navigating events and gatherings where alcohol is present.
