Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Substance use is often less about the substance itself and more about what it helps manage or avoid. I work with individuals to understand the underlying emotional patterns, stressors, and relational dynamics connected to use. Together, we focus on building awareness, increasing tolerance for difficult internal states, and developing more sustainable ways of coping and relating.

Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Thinking about changing your drinking or substance use can feel daunting or overwhelming. After all, drinking and using do offer some benefits, such as experiencing pleasure, feeling more social, or perhaps even enhancing your sexual experiences. On the flip side, many people also experience numerous downsides, side effects, or unwanted repercussions when they use. Taking inventory of what you have at stake can be helpful in making a decision about whether or not to change. Those reasons can be especially helpful in moments of distress or temptation.
Exploring what might be underneath your drinking or substance use is crucial. Sometimes painful experiences from your past propel you to find a quick solution to the pain. Alcohol and drugs can be effective at numbing pain, but you may be left with unresolved grief, trauma, anger, shame, or guilt. Treatment requires an integrative approach that addresses both the substance use and your emotional pain.
If you have decided that you’d like to change your drinking or substance use, therapy can help you accomplish your goal. There is no “one size fits all” treatment approach when it comes to treating addiction or substance misuse, so let’s work together to determine what will best help you live the life you want. Give me a call me today to get help reaching your substance use treatment goals.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer substance use support grounded in a person-centered approach that honors your autonomy, dignity, and lived experience as primary and fundamental to treatment. Maybe you are working towards harm reduction and shifting your relationship to substances, or maybe you are hoping to become or remain abstinent. Either way, rather than focusing on labels, our work centers on curiosity, compassion, and understanding your relationship with substances within the broader context of your life. Together, we explore what feels supportive, sustainable, and aligned with your values, creating space for change that is rooted in care rather than shame.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
Here's a rewritten blurb incorporating "addiction therapy," "Los Angeles," and "West Hollywood":
"As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing addiction therapy in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for over a decade, I specialize in helping individuals transform their relationship with substances and addictive behaviors. My approach to addiction therapy recognizes that substance use often masks deeper emotional challenges—from unresolved trauma to feelings of powerlessness—and I work with clients to uncover these underlying triggers. Located in the heart of West Hollywood on Santa Monica Boulevard, I offer both in-person and online addiction therapy sessions throughout Los Angeles, combining psychoanalytic insights with evidence-based approaches like DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. Having served as Clinical Director of a Residential Treatment Center, I bring comprehensive expertise to support clients at any stage of recovery, from those questioning their substance use to individuals maintaining long-term sobriety. My West Hollywood practice provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where Los Angeles residents can explore their unique recovery journey, develop healthier coping strategies, and reclaim control over their lives

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.
