Patricia Scholl
Life Coach, CASAC trained, BA in Communications
Substance abuse doesn't only take you away from who you really are, but also rewires your brain. So does any type of learned behavior. In order to change, you will need to learn how to think differently and what to focus on to reach your goals. Communicating is the only way you can get back to the person you were meant to be.

Alexander Beznes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I take a harm-reduction approach to substance abuse and dependency issues. My goal is to help you develop insight and awareness around your use and how it impacts your daily life. Addiction starts as an attempt to cope with pain. What may have once helped you feel safe or liberated is now causing shame and consuming you. I want to help you break free from destructive cycles that are rooted in emotional patterns.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Whatever your drug of choice is, the notion of giving it up and living without it can seem impossible. As an internationally certified addiction counselor (ICAdC), I help addicted individuals create new resources, patterns and habits as they achieve a level of sobriety and begin navigating life sober. Stopping the behavior is the first step. The second phase is crucial; identifying what purpose the addiction serves, what were the contributing factors. Once there is a higher level of awareness, new methods of self-soothing and emotional regulation can be developed. Addiction is a prison; recovery is an escape from that prison.

Substance Abuse
Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Substance abuse recovery must include physical, emotional, and relational remedies, may begin with harm reduction, but must end in abstinence, and, I believe, must proceed in conjunction with 12-Step programs. The psychological aspect of treatment must target the negative emotional sequelae of addiction--shame, guilt, self-hatred, shattered relationships.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with many clients who are struggling with substance use, sobriety, relapse, and the complicated feelings that surround addiction. My approach is harm reduction and compassion-based, influenced by Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practices. I have both professional experience in inpatient treatment and personal experience with addiction in my family, and I understand that addiction is rarely just about the substance—it’s often about pain, trauma, loneliness, and trying to cope. In our work together, we focus on reducing harm, understanding what the addiction is doing for you, and building other ways to survive and cope.
