Addictions or Substance Abuse
Adam Luke M.A. LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The truth is addiction does not discriminate. Addiction does not care how amazing or how hurtful your family of origin is. You cannot escape addiction by moving to a different zip code or sitting in a different church pew. Addiction is indifferent to your hopes or dreams.
But your story is not a story about hopelessness; YOUR story is a story about redemption. A story that starts with taking back the power in your life, repairing relationships, and prioritizing your own value. This therapy process is about choosing yourself over previous emotional wounds and trauma. A realization that regardless of your vice, your life is worth more, your influence is worth more, and your life HAS MORE to give.
The cold hard facts are simple. NO ONE wakes up one day and says, “I cannot wait to be addicted to ________.” However, every day someone wakes up and asks themselves, “How am I going to get past my fears, this pain, my lack of self-worth, my feelings of hopelessness?”
The quick answer to that question? We try to escape through distraction. We look for instant gratification, and then we pursue it. At first, it starts with a bump, a sniff, or sip. But before we know it, what began as an attempt at self-medicating ends up in self-destruction.
Let’s make today the day we STOP the hurt and START the journey to healing.

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.

Jenine LaCoe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, DCC, CCM
In regards to substance use, my focus areas include Alcohol and Cocaine. I don't believe in labels, stigmas or character defects. I feel it is important to look at what are the pro/con of use and how it helps one feel better and work from there. I am open to any goal, I do not believe in all or nothing. I am open to moderation and sober curious goals. I tend to lean towards Smart Recovery skills. I have over 25 years experience in this area on a continuum of someone feeling they may be overdrinking to individuals who may experience withdrawl if they stop.
