Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with addictions and substance use concerns that impact relationships, emotional well-being, and daily functioning. Drawing on extensive clinical experience treating substance abuse, impulse control, and co-occurring mental health concerns across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how addiction affects the brain, behavior, and nervous system.
I have worked closely with individuals experiencing addiction as well as their loved ones and families. I help clients understand their need to use and what drives urges, while also supporting families in understanding the nature of addiction and the complex process of rebuilding trust. Repairing relationships can be difficult and gradual, but through this work it is possible to find solid ground where accountability, understanding, and stability can begin to grow.
Addiction often develops as a way to regulate distress, numb emotional pain, or create a temporary sense of relief or control. Together, we explore the emotional and neurological patterns that sustain addictive cycles while building healthier ways to regulate stress and tolerate discomfort. My approach is compassionate, direct, and nonjudgmental, helping clients move toward greater stability, insight, and long-term change.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I began working, professionally, with adolescents and adults experiencing the symptoms associated with overuse and / or abuse of substances, specifically, in 2003. I have received specialized training in understanding the nature of addictive behaviors as coping strategies and mechanisms used to deal primarily with underlying challenging life events or situations that are going on in the person's life, whether presently or in the past. What qualifies as meeting the criteria for an addiction or addictive disorder is not always what one may think.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Substance use can be a coping strategy that once felt adaptive—but over time, it may begin to erode your relationships, health, and sense of self. Whether you're navigating early recovery, relapse prevention, or long-standing patterns of use, I offer a structured, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique history and goals.
Drawing on over three decades of clinical experience, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients understand the function of their substance use, build sustainable coping strategies, and reconnect with their values. Treatment is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in scientific research—designed to support both behavioral change and emotional healing.
I work with high-functioning adults, healthcare professionals, and individuals facing complex life transitions. Whether you're seeking clarity, accountability, or long-term transformation, we’ll develop a personalized roadmap that honors your strengths and equips you with practical tools for change.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I wrote my dissertation on "Reducing Denial In Addictions: An Alternative Integrated Group Approach." I have found that there are many alternatives to 12 step work around addictions or substance abuse. The most important piece I have taken away from 12 step and my 35 years of personal growth experience is one must surrender and let go to their Higher Power, whatever and/or who that is. In my 25 years of practice, the people that have struggled the most are people that do not want to give up control and/or do not have a higher power. I have many ways to teach letting go and surrendering if substances are making ones life unmanageable. If ones life revolves around alcohol or other substances, ones life has become unmanageable and ones higher power becomes the substance(s). It becomes way too much when one is trying to handle life's challenges all by themselves, regardless of what they may be.

Addiction therapy, also known as addiction counseling or substance abuse therapy, is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on assisting individuals in overcoming and managing their addiction to hazardous substances or behaviors. Addiction is a complex and chronic disorder that affects both the brain and behavior, resulting in compulsive substance use or addictive behaviors despite adverse consequences.
Addiction therapy is an essential component of addiction treatment and recovery and is frequently employed in conjunction with other methods, such as medical interventions, support groups, and lifestyle modifications.

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.

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.

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.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
