Substance Use & Compulsive Behaviors
Understanding the Function Behind the Habit
Compulsive behaviors—whether involving alcohol, substances, gambling, intimacy, or shopping—rarely exist in a vacuum. Rather than viewing addiction as a simple failure of willpower, I view these behaviors as understandable, albeit counterproductive, attempts to find relief, manage high-pressure stress, or avoid underlying pain.
My approach begins with a simple question: What are you attempting to accomplish through this behavior? By understanding the specific emotional, psychological, or physiological function the addiction serves in your life, we can work together to build healthier, sustainable ways to fulfill those needs without compromising your health, relationships, or career.
Client-Centered Autonomy: Abstinence & Harm Reduction
I reject rigid, one-size-fits-all mandates. While some of my clients choose complete abstinence, others prefer to explore controlled use, risk reduction, or moderate management strategies.
My role is not to impose a predetermined goal upon you, but to empower you to continually evaluate the real-world consequences of your choices. Together, we evaluate what is truly serving your well-being, helping you align your actions with the life and relationships you ideally want to build.
Integrative & Evidence-Based Recovery Pathways
Recovery is a personal journey, and no single framework fits every individual. I am adept at integrating a wide spectrum of evidence-based recovery models to fit your personal philosophy and lifestyle:
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP): Cultivating real-time awareness to navigate cravings and break automatic stress responses.
Trauma-Informed Addiction Care: Addressing the root emotional injuries and nervous system dysregulation underlying compulsive habits.
SMART Recovery & Rational Recovery: Utilizing cognitive-behavioral tools and rational self-analysis to build self-efficacy and impulse control.
Harm Reduction & Moderate Management: Practical, strategic approaches designed to minimize harm and restore personal control.
12-Step Support & Mutual-Aid Integration: For clients who find value in 12-step or community support frameworks, I offer informed, comfortable guidance to integrate those steps into our work.
Whether you are seeking to regain control, recalibrate your relationship with a behavior, or enter full recovery, our work offers a confidential, highly supportive environment free from shame or dogma.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
At Whole Wellness Therapy, our team is devoted to supporting individuals who may be struggling with any form of substance use- whether it be precautionary in recognizing the frequency of a client's use being more than typical, or more severe where a clients use is impacting multiple aspects of their life. Our team takes a compassionate approach to truly understanding a clients relationship with their addictive behaviors, and explores the root of the issue before implimenting solutions. Our Therapists recognize the nature of addiction as something that is often a short term fix to a long term problem. Due to this, we understand it is essential to get to know a person at their core, to understand how to begin healing what's at the core, instead of simply taking away the "short term fix" that has been being used in the meantime. Together, we will come to an understanding and implement more effective solutions.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore issues around substance use. Whether you want to quit entirely (abstinence) or cut down or control your drinking/using (harm reduction), I will support you in achieving your goal. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. Together we will figure out what works for you to have success.
