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
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.
Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. William Christiana
Psychologist, PsyD
Have you found yourself drinking more than you would like? Do friends and family express concerns about your drug or alcohol use? Are you worried about how your substance use is effecting your physical health, mental health, relationships, or performance at work? Has it been difficult to stop or cut down on your own? Are you thinking about making some changes? While it can be difficult to take the first step towards change, it is not one you have to take alone. My goal is to create a safe space where people can explore and understand their use, openly discuss the changes they are considering, choose a path forward, and learn the skills to get there.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.
