Evolve Wellness and Recovery is a private practice owned/operated by Kelly Costigan.  Evolve's mission is to empower individuals to achieve permanent sobriety and optimal mental health. Recovery from substance abuse isn't just about the stop-use of substance. True recovery cannot, and will not, be sustained without emotional, mental and spiritual reformation. We must recover as whole, not just in pieces. Using a process, I call "Cognitive Remodeling", I work with individuals to help reboot, reprogram and retrain their brains, abandon old patterns, create new ones and modify responses to stimuli in order to engage in healthy, self-promoting, rather than self-defeating, behaviors.  There are many forms of recovery and this treatment isn't just designed for those seeking sobriety.  We all carry wounds which need healing, experiences we need to recover from.  At Evolve, we can work on overcoming past or current trauma & abuse, dealing with grief & loss, uncovering suppressed emotional issues, managing impulse control and coping with anxiety. Other focus topics include anger management, codependency, replacement addictions, sexual or gender issues (LGBT sensitive), self-harm, eating disorders, OCD, relationships, life skills and overall wellness. We use holistic nutrition prescriptions; Food as Medicine, meditation, deep breathing exercises, grounding techniques, talk-therapy, CBT, journaling and/or written exercises and physical fitness as some of our treatment modalities. The focus is on total body wellness and recovery; emotional, mental and spiritual Evolution so we may achieve balance and happiness. Evolve provides alternative based care and first and foremost, relies upon natural, holistic or homeopathic remedies wherever possible. Therapy is focused on action, effort and personal engagement rather than relying solely on medications to soften reality. We have no bias against prescription medications and believe there are many circumstances where medication is an absolutely crucial part of the puzzle, thus we'll cultivate a treatment plan to work in conjunction with your prescribing physician to help meet your goals.

​

For those in recovery from substance,  Evolve is often considered an alternative to traditional IOP, helping individuals by providing routine and structure while working towards a permanent recovery goal.  We'll focus on honing coping skills and actually working to emancipate oneself from the emotional or mental roots that drive our addictions and maladies. The goal is to help empower others to be in control of their lives, their thoughts, their actions, behaviors and in turn, the path they take.

Kelly resides as sustainably as possible with her husband, Jesse, their two dogs & three cats in Landenberg, Pa.  They are expecting their first child this spring. The family spends their free time hiking, camping and connecting with the Universe daily.  Both Kelly and her husband are persons in recovery and know the struggles first hand.  It is their pleasure to be able to give back to and support the recovering community whenever possible.
