Substance Abuse
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.

Substance Abuse
Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
"When the Son sets you free you will be free indeed". Addiction isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a cry for healing. Behind every destructive habit lies a story of pain, shame, and unmet need. Recovery begins when you stop running from your truth and start facing it with love. Freedom isn’t found in fighting harder — it’s found in forgiving deeper, believing again, and rebuilding from within. You are not your past, your cravings, or your mistakes. You are the courage to begin again. Healing is possible — and your comeback story is waiting to be written.

Substance Abuse
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Substance use can slowly become something that no longer feels like a choice. What may have started as relief, escape, or a way to cope can turn into a pattern that is difficult to shift, even when you know it is no longer serving you. I work with individuals who are questioning their relationship with alcohol or substances, in early recovery, or feeling caught between wanting change and not knowing how to begin. My training with the California Association for Drug and Alcohol Educators (CAADE) and years of experience in addiction treatment allow me to approach this work with honesty, compassion, and respect for the complexity of recovery.

David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
I'm well versed in the stages of addiction, as well as the different approaches to recovery. Moderation for some people is an option, and total abstinence is a necessity for others. Let's figure out your unique situation, and find a support community to help you along your way to optimum health.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Addiction doesn't need to take over your life. If you're ready to heal, you can do it, and I can help if you'd like. If you're NOT ready to heal, I get it, and I'll still be on your side. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have equipped me with more tools to help than my master’s degree ever could. I'm ready when you are.

Substance Abuse
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Understanding your triggers to relapse is the best tool for staying clean and sober. A few counseling sessions digging into the triggers can save you a lot of grief as you begin to grasp why it's hard to stay clean. I have a solid understanding of 12-step treatment and recommend it for ongoing support, helping you find identity, purpose and direction. If you need help getting clean/sober for the first time, I can walk you through that process too.

Substance Abuse
Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore issues around substance use. Whether you want to quit entirely (abstinence) or cut down or control your drinking/using (harm reduction), I will support you in achieving your goal. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. Together we will figure out what works for you to have success.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I have over 25 years’ experience of living within 12-step recovery, including recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sex and love. This lived experience informs my clinical work, particularly with clients who are new to recovery, returning to it, or seeking additional therapeutic depth alongside an established recovery programme.
I understand the complexities of recovery beyond abstinence, including identity, relationships, shame, and long-standing patterns of self-protection. I bring this understanding together with my professional training in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering a thoughtful and grounded therapeutic approach that respects both structure and complexity.

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I specialize in abstinence approaches to substance use, and can work with individuals both interested in 12-step programs as well as alternatives to 12-step. Treating addictions of any kind— alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, ecigarettes/ vaping, etc.— is a multi-modal approach providing supporting the body, the mind, the emotions, and the whole spirit of the person. The simplest way to start dealing with habits and addictions is by dealing with cravings. From there, we build capacity through healthy practices.
