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

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.

Laura Goldstein

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!
