Addictions or Substance Abuse
Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Maybe you are working the 12-steps but keep relapsing. Or you find that meetings are not keeping you clean and sober. You know that something deep is driving you to drink or drug and you just can’t stop it. Your life has grown unmanageable, and you no longer have control over the decision to take a drink or do drugs though you desperately want to stop. You know that you need something more if you are ever going to have a clean and sober life.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, we work together to understand the underlying patterns and trauma that lead you to drinking and drugging. I help you understand and heal what is underneath this destructive behavior. We tap into your own inner wisdom and intuition as a resource for healing and charting a clean and sober path forward for a more fulfilling and productive life.
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute information session to learn more about Depth Hypnosis counseling sessions and how we can get traction in your sobriety.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years, I have offered Substance Abuse and Addiction program for individuals, couples & groups. The root of addiction often lies in dysfunctional family experiences in childhood. Whatever form an addiction takes- whether overeating, gambling drug or alcohol abuse, cigarette smoking, video-game or pornography or sex addiction, the addictive cycle often numbs feelings or serves as an attempt to fill an inner emptiness. I use various effective methods to help clients stop or decrease addiction and replace it with more functional ways of dealing with needs and feelings. I have developed a safe and effective approach using guided imagery movement and music leading to an altered state of consciousness, which can serve as a substitute for the high, that one gets with drugs.
Adolescents as well as adults learn to say no to drinking, smoking, over-eating and drugs through my programs. They learn to recognize how they are putting their education, health, family ties, and social life at risk. Often they are “self-medicating” their depression or anxiety with addiction, and they find far better ways of dealing with these problems. My colleagues and I also facilitate family and friend interventions for drug and alcohol abuse.
Over many years, I have worked with Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs) including presenting my work with ACOAs at a meeting for psychologists at the Maryland Psychological Association. Many ACOAs become alcoholics themselves or become involved in relationships with alcoholics or
substance abusers. They are at risk for other dysfunctional or even abusive relationships,
I see many clients for Stopping Cessation and present successful Smoking Cessation programs to organizations and law firms. I have also presented seminars at the Maryland, DC and Virginia Lung Associations on Breathing and Smoking Cessation.
I help clients with Love Addiction and Gambling Addiction, and attend many seminars on Eating
Disorders to stay up to date on the latest developments in the field.
I have also helped many clients with Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss. My Stop Smoking Now and Lose Weight Now programs have been utilized by many organizations and law firms and I have CD’s, Tapes and Bandcamp on Weight Loss and Smoking cessation. I have also presented a radio program and led workshops on Mindful Eating.
I regularly offer free zoom seminars, that can help individuals deal with Substance Abuse and weight loss. Please feel free to call for the latest schedule or for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Mindy Ash Hypnosis Centers in Las Vegas and Hypnosis in Henderson Nevada
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapy Instructor, Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, EQ Coach, Master Business Coach, Author
Some issues will required a medical referral please call to discuss. Hypnosis for addictions is an effective therapeutic approach that helps individuals overcome various substance dependencies, such as alcohol, smoking, and drugs. By tapping into the subconscious mind, hypnosis can uncover the root causes of addictive behaviors and promote positive change. This technique enhances self-control, reduces cravings, and fosters healthier coping mechanisms. Many people report significant improvements after just a few sessions, making hypnosis a valuable tool in addiction recovery. Call Mindy Ash Hypnosis Centers to explore how hypnosis can empower you on your journey to a healthier, addiction-free life today.
The dictionary defines addiction as becoming dependent on something and then continuing to increase the amount of substance so that we can feel the same effect. If that is the case then why do people generally stick with the same daily amount of substance for years? Perhaps, because many things that we refer to as addictions such as shopping, chocolate, smoking, 3 glasses of wine a night are really just habits? The behavior starts of slowly and then through repetition it turns into a powerful habit. Habits are in the subconscious mind. The behavior starts off as a benefit, perhaps to help us feel better, but then it turns into a bad or healthy behavior. Behaviors are in our subconscious mind and hypnosis communicates with the subconscious mind. Consciously we may not know why we do what we do but, the subconscious knows. When we use our willpower to change that habit it can feel as if we have a fight going on in our head. With hypnosis we make your mind more congruent, hence the fight goes away easily let go of negative behaviors. Many clients experience success in just a few short sessions.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Art therapy can be utilized to explore underlying emotions and triggers related to addiction through creative expression, offering clients a non-verbal outlet for self-reflection and processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may help individuals identify and challenge addictive thought patterns and behaviors, while compassion-focused therapy can foster self-compassion and reduce shame associated with addiction. Family systems therapy can address familial dynamics that contribute to addictive behaviors, while relational therapy focuses on repairing and improving interpersonal relationships that are impacted by addiction.

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Addictions and Substance Abuse can provide a heavy burden on your life and impede your life journey. They present a false narrative to you while destroying everything you love and have worked hard to achieve. However, the good news about narratives is they can be edited and rewritten to tell the best story about a overcomer and survivor. Let's rewrite your narrative together!

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Healing from substance abuse and addiction is rarely, if ever achieved through efforts to shame others and oneself. Rather, it requires honesty and a readiness to understand these issues within the context of a person's life that lends itself to an approach of curiosity and kindness.

Using DBT-SUD interventions
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is a perfect treatment for people who are:
more sensitive to emotions
more reactive to emotions
have a slower return to baseline
If any of these things sound familiar for you or your loved one then DBT is probably the answer!

Dr. William Christiana
Psychologist, PsyD
Have you found yourself drinking more than you would like? Do friends and family express concerns about your drug or alcohol use? Are you worried about how your substance use is effecting your physical health, mental health, relationships, or performance at work? Has it been difficult to stop or cut down on your own? Are you thinking about making some changes? While it can be difficult to take the first step towards change, it is not one you have to take alone. My goal is to create a safe space where people can explore and understand their use, openly discuss the changes they are considering, choose a path forward, and learn the skills to get there.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
In addressing addictions and substance abuse, our therapeutic approach focuses on understanding the root causes of addiction, breaking the cycle of dependency, and promoting sustainable recovery. We recognize that every journey of substance misuse is unique, and as such, we endeavor to provide personalized, compassionate care tailored to the distinct circumstances and needs of each client.
Specialized Focus on Addiction Recovery
* Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the history and scope of the substance use, alongside any co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. This holistic perspective ensures that all underlying factors are treated concurrently.
* Individualized Treatment Plans: Based on the initial assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention strategies. Our plans are adaptable to the evolving needs of each individual throughout their recovery process.
* Skill Building: A significant focus of therapy is on building skills for managing cravings, avoiding triggers, and coping with daily stresses without relying on substances. These skills are vital for maintaining long-term sobriety and preventing relapse.
* Supportive Environment: We foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can freely discuss their experiences and challenges. The therapeutic space is a safe zone where individuals are encouraged to explore their emotions and behaviors without fear of criticism.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the role of family dynamics in recovery, we offer family therapy sessions to educate loved ones about addiction and how they can best support the individual’s journey toward recovery.
* Continuous Support and Aftercare: Recovery from addiction is an ongoing process. We provide continuous support and aftercare planning to assist individuals in maintaining their sobriety after they've completed initial treatment phases. This includes connection to support groups, ongoing counseling, and routine check-ins.
Transformative Goals
Our ultimate goal is not just to help clients abstain from addictive substances but to enable them to understand and reshape their life patterns. Through empowerment and self-discovery, individuals are aided in rebuilding their lives, mending relationships, and finding new sources of fulfillment and meaning beyond their addiction.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance abuse, please reach out. Together, we can work towards recovery and a renewed sense of control over your life.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Addiction is something which I have several years of experience treating. People are often surprised to learn that treatment for substance abuse is not at all what they thought it would be. Typically, those with severe addictions will require a lifetime goal of sobriety while those with more mild addictions may acquire the ability to practice “controlled use” of chemicals. We will do a careful assessment of your symptoms so that effective goals for treatment can be established.
