Substance Abuse
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Problematic addictive behaviors rarely develop in isolation. Often they become a way of coping with painful emotions, difficult experiences, or patterns that once served a protective purpose. Together, we'll approach those struggles with curiosity rather than shame, while exploring what the addictive behavior has been helping you manage. Therapy can help you develop healthier, more flexible ways of responding to life's challenges so that you can gain the freedom to choose the life you want rather than the one addiction has created.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have written a book Overcoming Your Addictions which shows you how to apply the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and CBT to your self-defeating addictions. To overcome an addiction you first need to learn to accept yourself unconditionally with your addiction. Your self-defeating addictive behavior does not diminish your worth as a person. Putting yourself down will not help you overcome your addiction. Secondly, you need to learn to build your discomfort tolerance for urges, develop a healthy network of friends who will not lead you back to your addiction, and a vitally absorbing interest in life that makes your life meaningful.

Luciana C. Silva
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
What if substance use and addiction are symptoms of sensitivity to anxiety in and around a family? That's the question that Bowen Family Systems Theory poses and that I explore with clients who want to work with me on breaking patterns of addiction. Recovery programs can be excellent ways of addressing the symptom that is addiction through the (much needed) symptom-reducing fix of sobriety. Long-term recovery requires addressing root causes of the disease, however, which involves understanding the sources of anxiety in a family system, the patterned ways the individuals in the family react to anxiety, and experimenting with alternate, more thoughtful, principle-driven ways of managing oneself in the system and towards one's own reactivity. That's where I come in: I aim to ask thoughtful questions to help stimulate and clarify your thinking about all that so you can find different ways of managing Self to "live life on life's terms."
