Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, but meaningful change is possible. I work with adults who are questioning their relationship with alcohol or other substances, whether they are seeking full recovery or exploring harm reduction. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in evidence-based practices including motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation. I help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to them. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
When you are struggling with addiction or substance abuse, it can feel like you are trapped in a cycle of shame, isolation, and unyielding cravings. I look at addiction through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens—recognizing that substance use often begins as a way to cope with deep emotional pain, unresolved trauma, or overwhelming stress. Together, we will work to heal the root of the issue using advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand the parts of you driving these behaviors. Concurrently, I will arm you with practical CBT and DBT skills to manage intense urges, navigate triggers, and build daily emotional resilience. You don’t have to carry this burden alone; let's work together to break the cycle and build a fulfilling life rooted in genuine healing and lasting recovery.

Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I use a harm reduction philosophy and motivational interviewing strategies to help clients explore the role substance use is playing in their lives and how this differs from what they want out of life. We'll work together to determine a goal that fits your values, and come up with a plan that addresses the motivations underlying your use (eg, coping with emotions or stress, seeking pleasure/enjoyment, engaging socially). As you get closer to your goals, we'll anticipate possible future challenges so you feel confident navigating difficult situations without returning to old habits.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Maybe you are working the 12-steps but keep relapsing. Or you find that meetings are not keeping you clean and sober. You know that something deep is driving you to drink or drug and you just can’t stop it. Your life has grown unmanageable, and you no longer have control over the decision to take a drink or do drugs though you desperately want to stop. You know that you need something more if you are ever going to have a clean and sober life.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, we work together to understand the underlying patterns and trauma that lead you to drinking and drugging. I help you understand and heal what is underneath this destructive behavior. We tap into your own inner wisdom and intuition as a resource for healing and charting a clean and sober path forward for a more fulfilling and productive life.
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute information session to learn more about Depth Hypnosis counseling sessions and how we can get traction in your sobriety.

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.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Recently, I was contacted by a woman who said she wanted to deal with her binge drinking. When I asked her how often she binged, she said "pretty much every night". After further discussion, she said she would love to quit drinking altogether so we set that intention, though she thought it would be difficult. After one session, which occurred right before holiday season, she wrote back saying she had made it through Christmas and New Years without a drink and, in addition, had been able to make better decisions around a broader range of issues, because of the tools I had given her. In addition, I have worked with binge eating, smoking addiction, etc.
