Substance Abuse
Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you find yourself turning to alcohol, relationships, food, or other behaviors to cope, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Many addictive patterns develop as a way to manage overwhelming emotions, stress, or unresolved experiences. In therapy, we focus on understanding what’s driving the urge rather than just trying to control it. Using approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed therapies, I help you build healthier ways to cope, reduce shame, and create lasting change so you can feel more in control of your choices and your life.

Ed White - Logos Addiction Counseling, LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, MS, LIAC
For most people, their drinking, drug use, and addiction are problems, but they are not THE problem. They are often a symptom of something greater going on inside of them that is driving their behavior. It is my aim to help you uncover the underlying reasons for your addiction and help you find appropriate coping to heal, recover, and have the kind of life that you have always wanted!

Substance Abuse
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Substance Abuse is the overindulgence or reliance on an addictive substance. It does not matter if the substance is legal or illegal, if it has addictive qualities, it can become addictive. Illicit drugs (e.g., cocaine and heroin), certain prescription drugs, alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine are all considered addictive substances.
The overuse of addictive drugs can lead to a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). When cravings are unmanageable, work and home-life suffer, and thoughts are consumed with plans to use, professional help should be considered.
Therapy can absolutely help with the psychological effects of addiction and recovery. Many therapy modalities are available to help individuals struggling with addiction move on to happier, healthier lives.

Tucson's large Hispanic population — spanning both sides of the US-Mexico border — and its position as a university city anchored by the University of Arizona together define the city's therapy landscape. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand, and therapists experienced with border-crossing trauma, immigration stress, and bicultural identity serve an important clinical role. The city's proximity to the Tohono O'odham Nation and other tribal communities creates demand for therapists trained in Indigenous trauma, historical loss, and culturally grounded care. Banner — University Medical Center Tucson provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community serving the Foothills, midtown, and the university corridor.
