Addictions or Substance Abuse
Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
As someone who has struggled with addiction, I deeply understand the feeling of needing to use or abuse substances in order to survive in this world. The shame we feel when we are in the quicksand of addiction stunts our growth and keeps us in the same place. The fact is, addiction tricks us into thinking we are mitigating pain when in reality it is producting more trauma within us. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to express all your feelings about your addiction with no shame or judgment so you can feel motivated to make change.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
In my own journey of recovery i discovered that my own previous misuse of substances was just an overactive coping skill which was functioning to cover up my trauma and attachment disruption. I have found a way to treat these issues via individual therapy leading to successful recovery from the overuse of substances.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Addiction doesn't need to take over your life. If you're ready to heal, you can do it, and I can help if you'd like. If you're NOT ready to heal, I get it, and I'll still be on your side. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have equipped me with more tools to help than my master’s degree ever could. I'm ready when you are.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
Thinking about changing your drinking or substance use can feel daunting or overwhelming. After all, drinking and using do offer some benefits, such as experiencing pleasure, feeling more social, or perhaps even enhancing your sexual experiences. On the flip side, many people also experience numerous downsides, side effects, or unwanted repercussions when they use. Taking inventory of what you have at stake can be helpful in making a decision about whether or not to change. Those reasons can be especially helpful in moments of distress or temptation.
Exploring what might be underneath your drinking or substance use is crucial. Sometimes painful experiences from your past propel you to find a quick solution to the pain. Alcohol and drugs can be effective at numbing pain, but you may be left with unresolved grief, trauma, anger, shame, or guilt. Treatment requires an integrative approach that addresses both the substance use and your emotional pain.
If you have decided that you’d like to change your drinking or substance use, therapy can help you accomplish your goal. There is no “one size fits all” treatment approach when it comes to treating addiction or substance misuse, so let’s work together to determine what will best help you live the life you want. Give me a call me today to get help reaching your substance use treatment goals.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In addressing the challenges of addictions or substance abuse, I offer a holistic and personalized approach, grounded in compassion and understanding. Incorporating Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I work alongside clients to explore the root causes of addiction, foster emotional resilience, and develop effective coping strategies. This comprehensive method allows us to address both the behavioral aspects of substance abuse and its underlying emotional and psychological dimensions. By focusing on self-awareness and self-compassion, I help clients build a foundation for lasting recovery, guiding them towards healthier habits and thought patterns. Our journey together is designed to empower individuals to regain control of their lives, making positive changes that support both sobriety and overall well-being. For those seeking a path out of addiction and towards a more fulfilling life, I am here to support your steps towards healing and self-discovery, offering the tools and insights needed for transformation.
