Substance Abuse
California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
Addiction is not a moral failing or a lack of willpower. It is a complex response to pain, stress, and unmet needs that over time takes on a life of its own. Whether you are struggling with alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behaviors, we help you understand the full picture of your use, what started it, what sustains it, and what has made it so hard to stop. Our approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your goals. We don't believe there is one right path to recovery and we will work with you to find the best one for you.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I helped create the treatment program for a substance use clinic in La Jolla, California where I also conducted individual and group therapy. I also have a strong background in treating sex addictions, gambling, and food-related addictions. I use empirically methods to support both those struggling with addictions and their loved ones.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
It's hard to admit when we have a problem. The truth is addiction isn't really about the substance, it's about what's going on beneath the surface. In therapy, I create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can discover what is really going on so we can face it, transcend it, and transform in the process.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I seek to create a safe, professional refuge for you to learn about your pattern of using or drinking and to explore the path to healing that feels right for you. I take a boradly harm-reduction approach that can include experimenting with spectrum from moderation to abstinence. I also work with family members impacted by a loved one’s substance use, focusing on understanding addiction, connecting with resources, setting boundaries, and coping.

Chico is a north-state California city home to California State University Chico and the closest significant urban center to Paradise, the community almost entirely destroyed by the 2018 Camp Fire—the most destructive wildfire in California history—and the city's mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by absorbing tens of thousands of Camp Fire survivors who relocated to Chico bringing acute wildfire trauma, grief, and the ongoing stress of rebuilding lives after catastrophic loss. Butte County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and many local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma, environmental grief, and the specific mental health needs of displaced wildfire survivors. Chico State's counseling center serves the significant student population, and the university's presence gives the city a progressive character that supports an open attitude toward mental health support. Common therapy concerns include wildfire-related PTSD and grief, displacement and housing insecurity, student mental health, anxiety, and the long-term psychological impact of living in a region permanently changed by catastrophic fire.
