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.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Substance abuse addiction is a disease that affects not only the user but his or her family members. Abstinence does not solve the problem. Instead, I can help you and your family develop a new lifestyle that does require the use of mood-altering substances. Please read my book “Bulletproof Recovery” to know more about how my approach can help you achieve peace of mind and serenity.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.
