Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
The use of alcohol or other psychoactive substances can be problematic in varying ways and to varying degrees. If you are concerned about your own or a partner’s substance use, your feelings may be mixed, complicated, and intense, ranging from anger and fear to confusion, defiance, helplessness, and guilt. At PCT, we believe that positive change is possible. We are committed to coming alongside you and your partner and exploring the effect that substance use is having in each of your lives and what may motivate you or your loved one to change. We recognize that there are many paths to recovery, and will work with you to identify what changes are important to you personally, to monitor your progress, and to readjust strategies and goals as needed. Most of all, at PCT we promote hope and empowerment. You can do this; we will help.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
With seven years of specialized experience in substance use disorders, my approach treats substance use not as a standalone issue, but as a survival habit. Often, using a drink, a gummy, or a substance is a logical attempt to numb a racing mind, quiet a harsh inner critic, or cope with overwhelming trauma and anxiety. I help clients look beneath the behavior to heal the root pain they are trying to soothe. If you are using substances to manage emotional distress, we will work together to heal those underlying roots, untangle the survival loop, and build healthier, sustainable tools for true peace of mind

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.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Healing from substance abuse and addiction is rarely, if ever achieved through efforts to shame others and oneself. Rather, it requires honesty and a readiness to understand these issues within the context of a person's life that lends itself to an approach of curiosity and kindness.
17 Years Experience
Online in Cleveland, OH
Cleveland carries a post-industrial identity with deep civic pride, and the mental health effects of decades of economic decline — job loss, population contraction, and community stress — are themes many local therapists engage with regularly. The city is home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world's premier medical institutions, which maintains extensive psychiatric and behavioral health services alongside a large private practice community concentrated in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and Lakewood. Cleveland's large Black community and history of racial inequity drive demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and social justice themes. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center provides additional institutional mental health resources in a city with a well-established independent practice community.
