Hypnotherapy for Addiction & Substance Abuse: Break Free and Take Back Control
Addiction isn’t just a habit—it’s a deeply ingrained subconscious pattern that can feel impossible to break. Whether you're struggling with alcohol, drugs, nicotine, or other substances, you are stronger than the cravings, and lasting change is possible.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, natural approach that helps rewire the subconscious mind, eliminate destructive patterns, and create healthier coping mechanisms. Through guided hypnosis, you can:
✔ Break the Psychological Hold of Addiction – Reprogram your mind to reject cravings and self-sabotage.
✔ Reduce Triggers & Urges – Replace the desire for substances with healthier habits.
✔ Heal Emotional Wounds – Address underlying stress, trauma, or self-doubt that fuels addiction.
✔ Strengthen Willpower & Self-Control – Regain confidence in your ability to stay clean and sober.
You don’t have to fight addiction alone. With hypnotherapy, you can break free, reclaim your life, and step into a healthier, more empowered future.

I have helped several clients overcome addiction.

Substance Abuse
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Substance Abuse
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.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting, somatic therapy along with solution focused talk therapy to be a highly effective path to overcoming addictions. The combination of these approaches address the underlying trauma and unresolved issues from the past but also focus on solutions for creating healthy coping skills and conscious decisions in the present.

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.

Freestyle Supervision and EMDR Group LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S, LEP, NCC, APCC, AMFT, ASW, NCC
We view substance use through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens, recognizing that "addiction" is often an attempt to survive or self-soothe an overwhelmed nervous system. Our approach focuses on uncovering the underlying trauma and building a sustainable foundation for recovery without shame.
