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.

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.

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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
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.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Addiction of any nature is a profoundly challenging constellation of behaviors to understand, address, and ultimately replace with healthier choices. Addiction is further complicated by the strong likelihood that co-occurring conditions will accompany the addictive behavior: anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges often go hand in hand with compulsive behavior. As a result, grasping the full breadth of the patient’s behavior and background is vital to treatment, but that is just one piece of a holistic approach. Fundamentally, addiction treatment must address the fact that at the heart of compulsive behavior lies a sense of self.
The truth is, at some level we are all wounded or, indeed, fractured. The challenge for those suffering addictive behaviors is that the wounds are so profound that the only way to find relief is to engage in maladaptive behaviors. In fact, the truly nefarious aspect of addiction is that while it is rooted in a fractured sense of self, the addictive behavior itself blocks the patient’s ability to empower and re-structure their internal narrative. Addiction is not only the crutch that soothes the fractured self, it is also the barrier that prevents a new self-empowerment to emerge. This creates a vicious cycle, and the common emotional aspects of addiction then dominate the addict’s self-narrative: guilt, shame, hopelessness and despair.
The essence of overcoming addiction, and the core of my treatment philosophy, is the desire and ultimately the decision to live your life in a new and different way. This decision is extraordinarily difficult and requires a comprehensive set of tools to sustain it over a lifetime. The good news is that the scientific underpinning of addiction treatment is making extraordinary progress. My practice for addiction seeks to understand and suggest new therapeutic options, and to pair those with a deep exploration to the source of your maladaptive behaviors and the experiences that fractured your original sense of self. My goal is to create a safe, trusting and healing environment to explore these core issues and to re-create a new self-narrative, replacing addictive behaviors with new coping mechanisms and actions. Ultimately, my goal is to re-assemble the fractured self, leading to a newly empowered individual with the skillset to begin a completely new, nourishing, and rewarding life.

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.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor

I offer psychotherapy, usually in conjunction with 12-step or other addiction-specific group -participation. Conducting research and publishing in the field, I help people struggling with substance abuse overcome those long-standing pathogenic beliefs getting in their way. As clients achieve a clean and sober life, free of the chemical prison of addiction, an optimistic future opens up before them. I follow my clients as they overcome the challenges ahead and support their efforts as they redesign their lives while learning to use methods useful in relapse prevention.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Addiction problems play havoc in families, relationships and one's health. Often, depression, anxiety and PTSD are underlying problems in addiction. No one wakes up one morning saying to themselves, "I want to become an addict." Most addicted people would turn back the clock if they could. But there is hope. One day at a time, a person can change their life for the better -- and forever. I worked in the Addiction Medicine Dept at Kaiser and did a residency at Betty Ford.

Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
In my own journey of recovery i discovered that my own previous misuse of substances was just an overactive coping skill which was functioning to cover up my trauma and attachment disruption. I have found a way to treat these issues via individual therapy leading to successful recovery from the overuse of substances.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
It's hard to admit when we have a problem. The truth is addiction isn't really about the substance, it's about what's going on beneath the surface. In therapy, I create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can discover what is really going on so we can face it, transcend it, and transform in the process.

Addictions are very difficult to overcome on your own. I can help you successfully manage addictions to alcohol and substance use, and also non-substance related behavioral-addictions including screen addiction, gaming, shopping addiction and emotional eating.
