Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
You may feel stuck in patterns with alcohol or substances that are starting to affect your mood, relationships, or day-to-day life. Part of you may want things to change, while another part feels unsure where to start or how to follow through.
Our work focuses on understanding what’s driving the behavior and building practical ways to respond differently. You’ll develop tools to manage urges, handle stress more effectively, and make decisions that align with what you actually want for yourself.
The goal is steady, realistic progress so you can regain a sense of control, improve your functioning, and move toward a more stable and consistent way of living.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Tara Lawton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I’ve been working in the field of substance abuse treatment since 2000, with a strong foundation in residential care settings. My early years in the field were shaped by intensive, hands-on experience supporting individuals in all stages of recovery, and I was previously nationally certified as an addiction specialist. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the complex nature of addiction and the many pathways to recovery.
I’m well-versed in a range of recovery models, including the 12-Step approach, SMART Recovery, and Dharma Recovery, and I tailor my support to meet each client where they are. Whether someone is new to recovery, returning after relapse, or working on long-term maintenance, I bring a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed perspective that honors each person’s experience and goals. My aim is to help clients build sustainable recovery through insight, accountability, and compassion.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I have over 25 years’ experience of living within 12-step recovery, including recovery from addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sex and love. This lived experience informs my clinical work, particularly with clients who are new to recovery, returning to it, or seeking additional therapeutic depth alongside an established recovery programme.
I understand the complexities of recovery beyond abstinence, including identity, relationships, shame, and long-standing patterns of self-protection. I bring this understanding together with my professional training in Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering a thoughtful and grounded therapeutic approach that respects both structure and complexity.
