Maureen Jacquot
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for young adults and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions, addiction and substance abuse issues or dual diagnosis and gender identity challenges. I work to help my clients navigate these challenges with a more balanced sense of self-compassion and insight.

Riesa Minakan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have spent most of my 17 years of treatment in substance abuse. Recently, I have run intensive outpatient programs and offer strong skills in substance abuse and providing support for sobriety. The work is really re-learning a new way of living that is far superior to any drug or alcohol.

Each of us faces obstacles and difficulties in life differently, and at times we can all use help. Individuals frequently seek my services during times of transition, when decision making appears to have a greater impact on our future directions.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have written a book Overcoming Your Addictions which shows you how to apply the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and CBT to your self-defeating addictions. To overcome an addiction you first need to learn to accept yourself unconditionally with your addiction. Your self-defeating addictive behavior does not diminish your worth as a person. Putting yourself down will not help you overcome your addiction. Secondly, you need to learn to build your discomfort tolerance for urges, develop a healthy network of friends who will not lead you back to your addiction, and a vitally absorbing interest in life that makes your life meaningful.

Dr. Adam Shafer
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.
