Substance Abuse
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years, I have offered Substance Abuse and Addiction program for individuals, couples & groups. The root of addiction often lies in dysfunctional family experiences in childhood. Whatever form an addiction takes-- whether overeating, gambling drug or alcohol abuse, cigarette smoking, video-game or pornography or sex addiction, the addictive cycle often numbs feelings or serves as an attempt to fill an inner emptiness. I use various effective methods to help clients stop or decrease addiction and replace it with more functional ways of dealing with needs and feelings. I have developed a safe and effective approach using guided imagery, movement, and music leading to a therapeutic, altered state of consciousness, that can serve as a substitute for the high that one gets with drugs. Adolescents as well as adults learn to say no to drinking, smoking, over-eating and drugs through my programs. They learn to recognize how they are putting their education, health, family ties, and social life at risk. Often they are “self-medicating” their depression or anxiety with addiction, and they find far better ways of dealing with these problems. My colleagues and I also facilitate family and friend interventions for drug and alcohol abuse. Over many years, I have worked with Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs) including presenting my work with ACOAs at a meeting for psychologists at the Maryland Psychological Association. Many ACOAs become alcoholics themselves or become involved in relationships with alcoholics or substance abusers. They are at risk for other dysfunctional or even abusive relationships. I see many clients for Stopping Smoking and present successful Smoking Cessation programs to organizations and law firms. I have also presented seminars at the Maryland, DC and Virginia Lung Associations on Breathing and Smoking Cessation. I attend many seminars on Eating Disorders to stay up to date on the latest developments in the field. I have produced CD’s and Tapes (available on Bandcamp) to assist Weight Loss and Smoking cessation. I have also presented a radio program and led workshops on Mindful Eating. I regularly offer free zoom seminars, that can help individuals deal with Substance Abuse and weight loss. Please feel free to call for the latest schedule or for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Russell Beebe
Life Coach, Counselor, LCMHC, CSAT,
Our recovery coaching program supports men struggling with addictive behaviors, including compulsive sexual behavior and related dependency patterns. While many addiction models focus primarily on substances, we work specifically with behavioral addictions that follow similar neurological and psychological reinforcement cycles. This structured coaching approach emphasizes accountability, clear boundaries, and practical recovery tools designed to interrupt compulsive patterns and build long-term stability.

Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
It is my goal to cultivate our relationship by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel understood and heard. To find the method that works best for each individual client struggling with addition, I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work with clients including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Art therapy can be utilized to explore underlying emotions and triggers related to addiction through creative expression, offering clients a non-verbal outlet for self-reflection and processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may help individuals identify and challenge addictive thought patterns and behaviors, while compassion-focused therapy can foster self-compassion and reduce shame associated with addiction. Family systems therapy can address familial dynamics that contribute to addictive behaviors, while relational therapy focuses on repairing and improving interpersonal relationships that are impacted by addiction.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I can treat any addictive behavior with the same approach, including gambling, sex addiction, video gaming, drugs/alcohol, other non-suicidal self-harm like cutting, and eating disorder behavior. My view of addictions and treatment approach are different than that of other therapists. Rather than label certain behaviors as "problems" or "bad" or "wrong", I reframe them as coping strategies that unfortunately have caused problems in one or more areas of life. The behavior itself isn't the problem; there are underlying issues that need to be addressed such as unresolved trauma, grief/loss, social isolation, lack of tools to handle intense emotions, low self-worth, and/or lack of meaningful spiritual connection. Once clients access self-compassion and stop judging themselves for engaging in behaviors, they are able to appreciate the fact that they are just trying to cope with the challenges of life as best they can. When we can let go of the shame and stigma attached to addiction, it's much easier to be open to making healthy changes and developing alternative behaviors that actually help and don't cause more harm. Together we will decode and uncover what the underlying issues are that need to be addressed in order to be able to let go of the addictive behavior. I try to focus on what the behavior is communicating and what need the client is trying to meet by engaging in the behavior.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Addictions can overtake your life, but addictions are not who you really are in life. Overcoming addictions through hypnotherapy involves addressing the subconscious mind, where habits and behaviors are deeply rooted. As a Certified Hypnotherapist, I guide clients into a state of deep relaxation, making them more receptive to positive suggestions and changes. During hypnotherapy sessions, we work together to identify the underlying triggers and emotional factors contributing to the addiction.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Alcohol and marijuana use can often be related to suppressing or avoiding negative emotion. While this works in the short-term, it doesn't address our tendency to avoid or fix the emotional problems we're having. Through therapy, we will work to increase your tolerance to negative emotional states and replace alcohol and marijuana use with healthier coping strategies.

Sophia Pressley
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Addictions and Substance Abuse can provide a heavy burden on your life and impede your life journey. They present a false narrative to you while destroying everything you love and have worked hard to achieve. However, the good news about narratives is they can be edited and rewritten to tell the best story about a overcomer and survivor. Let's rewrite your narrative together!
