Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Addictions are the solution to a problem, not the problem itself. In order to truly resolve addictions, we need to go under the hood where the problem actually lies, or else 'sobriety' will just look like bouncing from one addiction to the next. If this sounds like you - let's get to work.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
have extensive experience and am happy to support those struggling with substance abuse and other behavioral addictions. I work from a harm reduction, client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused recovery methodology. Please be aware that while I support those for whom the beliefs may work for, I do not work from a twelve step based perspective on 'addiction.' I work with people struggling with a variety of issues--not 'addicts.' We are each so much more than that! Moreover, shame does not heal.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Is your addiction a symptom of some deeper pain, or the sole obstacle to a life otherwise pleasantly lived? Using harm reduction informed, evidence based cognitive, narrative, and motivational approaches, we can identify and map out your relationship with your substance use/abuse/misuse, or behavior, the role it plays in maintaining the status quo, and what it would look like to remove it entirely.

Kristin Robert

I work with substance use and addiction by focusing on the function the behavior has served rather than framing it as a moral failing. Treatment emphasizes understanding, accountability, and the development of healthier ways to cope that can be sustained over time.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
Addiction is not a moral failing or a lack of willpower. It is a complex response to pain, stress, and unmet needs that over time takes on a life of its own. Whether you are struggling with alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behaviors, we help you understand the full picture of your use, what started it, what sustains it, and what has made it so hard to stop. Our approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your goals. We don't believe there is one right path to recovery and we will work with you to find the best one for you.

As an individual in long-term recovery, I intimately understand the challenges of getting and staying sober from alcohol and other substances.

I am uniquely equipped to help both newly sober individuals as well as those in long-term recovery.

Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you're struggling with addiction, please know you're not alone and that you're not weak for not being able to stop. I follow the disease model of addiction which provides evidence supporting that there's so much around our dependency for substances that's greater than simply mind over matter. Addiction is not the issue, it is a symptom of the issue. Together, we work on exploring the rooted belief systems that drive the need to either suppress or enhance emotions and/or situations.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
My journey with addiction is deeply personal, having been marked by the impact of my father's functional addiction from a young age. Despite the challenges it posed to our family, his struggles provided a unique perspective on the insidious nature of this illness—one that systematically dismantles lives, relationships, self-esteem, and even financial well-being.
While some may find it surprising, I consider it a fortune to have experienced the profound effects of addiction within my family. This experience became a catalyst for my healing and understanding of this intricate and complex illness. Today, as a specialized therapist and coach in addiction, I draw upon my personal journey to not only care for myself but also guide countless others through their path to recovery.
Working with addiction is powerful because, behind the façade of this illness, attempting to soothe deep-seated pain, there is always a remarkable human being waiting to actualize their full potential. I view addiction as an illness that, with proper care, can transform into a blessing, unleashing newfound superpowers. Those who have survived the grip of addiction, embarked on a healing journey and acquired wisdom and tools can become agents of positive change in the world.
Witnessing individuals transition from the depths of addiction to a purposeful and passionate life is akin to witnessing a superpower in action. The trauma, pain, and neglect that fueled the addiction often become the driving force behind a life dedicated to health, well-being, and positive impact.
Approaching this work requires delicacy and depth. The individual undertaking the healing journey needs perseverance, a thorough understanding, and decisive action to transform the dark tunnel of addiction into a sea of light. It would be my utmost honour to guide you through this challenging and isolating experience, helping you emerge into a world of your own creation—a world filled with choices that fulfill your life and enrich the lives of those around you.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with substance use or addictive patterns that are affecting their relationships, mental health, or sense of self. This may include concerns related to alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviors that feel difficult to control. My approach is supportive and non judgmental, with a focus on understanding what the behavior is doing for you, rather than simply trying to eliminate it.
Together, we look at the emotional, relational, and situational factors that contribute to addiction, as well as the impact these patterns have on trust, intimacy, and communication. I help clients develop healthier coping strategies, increase accountability, and create realistic plans for change that fit their lives. For couples, this often includes working through betrayal, rebuilding trust, and establishing clearer boundaries and expectations.
I also integrate trauma informed care, mindfulness, and motivation based strategies to support long term recovery and emotional stability. Whether you are early in the process of change or returning to therapy after setbacks, I offer a space where progress can happen without shame, pressure, or judgment.
