Technology Addiction interventions

We game. We post. We message. We TikTok. We binge. We isolate.

Let our team help you overcome unhealthy or addictive behaviors.

Find balance with technology.

In today’s digital world, technology is essential - but for some, it can become overwhelming or even addictive. At Encore Psychology, we work with children, teens, and adults to develop healthier relationships with technology through personalized outpatient interventions.

Who can benefit from technology addiction interventions?

Our services are designed for people who:

  • Struggle with excessive gaming, social media use, or internet dependency

  • Experience anxiety, depression, or social isolation linked to technology use

  • Have difficulty managing screen time in a healthy way

  • Want to regain focus, motivation, and real-life connections

Our approach.

Unlike costly inpatient programs that remove technology entirely, our outpatient approach focuses on real-world integration - helping individuals learn to manage technology responsibly while addressing underlying emotional and behavioral challenges.

We take a whole-person approach, addressing:

  • ADHD, anxiety, and depression that often accompany tech overuse

  • Social skills development and real-life engagement

  • Family dynamics and support systems Personalized strategies for long-term success

Our multi-layered approach.

  • Customized and Tailored Treatment Plans

    We have found consistently that customization of a plan to the individual’s specific needs and those of the family is crucial.

  • Consultation

    Technology is all around us, unavoidable, and so dealing with this addiction requires a multi-pronged approach that involves identifying underlying mental health challenges, developing a solid plan of action, and supporting the entire family.

  • Psychotherapy

    Unresolved, and often undiscovered, issues usually underlie tech addiction, and psychotherapy comprises an integral part of our approach to identify and begin to change these issues.

  • Psychological Testing

    Tech addiction is almost always accompanied by other mental health challenges - ADHD, anxiety, depression, ASD, social challenges, etc. - and uncovering these must be part of any interventional strategy.

  • Recommendation for Psychiatric Services

    The brain of an addicted individual can often be said to have gone “haywire,” and thus several types of medications can be helpful to deal with the addiction as well as underlying mental health challenges.

  • Family Therapy

    In many cases, we have found that underneath the many layers of tech addiction, there are family dynamics that must be changed to support growth.

  • Parent Support Group (Individual)

    The extraordinary difficulty of dealing with a tech addict means that parents often need ongoing support to help emotionally sustain them and to help them understand they are not alone.

Take control of your tech use.

We live in a digital world, and quitting technology isn’t the answer. Instead, we help you develop a balanced, mindful relationship with technology that allows you to stay connected while living a fulfilling, real-world life.
