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.

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.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
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.

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.

Prior to working in private practice, I co-ran an intensive outpatient program for individuals with alcohol use disorder. I have worked in community mental health, partial hospitalization, withdrawal management and inpatient rehab and have a long history of working with people experiencing addictions. My approach is less "old school/tough love" and more compassion and building skills to create a life in recovery.

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.

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.
13 Years Experience
Online in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
