Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Addiction of any nature is a profoundly challenging constellation of behaviors to understand, address, and ultimately replace with healthier choices. Addiction is further complicated by the strong likelihood that co-occurring conditions will accompany the addictive behavior: anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges often go hand in hand with compulsive behavior. As a result, grasping the full breadth of the patient’s behavior and background is vital to treatment, but that is just one piece of a holistic approach. Fundamentally, addiction treatment must address the fact that at the heart of compulsive behavior lies a sense of self.
The truth is, at some level we are all wounded or, indeed, fractured. The challenge for those suffering addictive behaviors is that the wounds are so profound that the only way to find relief is to engage in maladaptive behaviors. In fact, the truly nefarious aspect of addiction is that while it is rooted in a fractured sense of self, the addictive behavior itself blocks the patient’s ability to empower and re-structure their internal narrative. Addiction is not only the crutch that soothes the fractured self, it is also the barrier that prevents a new self-empowerment to emerge. This creates a vicious cycle, and the common emotional aspects of addiction then dominate the addict’s self-narrative: guilt, shame, hopelessness and despair.
The essence of overcoming addiction, and the core of my treatment philosophy, is the desire and ultimately the decision to live your life in a new and different way. This decision is extraordinarily difficult and requires a comprehensive set of tools to sustain it over a lifetime. The good news is that the scientific underpinning of addiction treatment is making extraordinary progress. My practice for addiction seeks to understand and suggest new therapeutic options, and to pair those with a deep exploration to the source of your maladaptive behaviors and the experiences that fractured your original sense of self. My goal is to create a safe, trusting and healing environment to explore these core issues and to re-create a new self-narrative, replacing addictive behaviors with new coping mechanisms and actions. Ultimately, my goal is to re-assemble the fractured self, leading to a newly empowered individual with the skillset to begin a completely new, nourishing, and rewarding life.

Substance Abuse
Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
In my own journey of recovery i discovered that my own previous misuse of substances was just an overactive coping skill which was functioning to cover up my trauma and attachment disruption. I have found a way to treat these issues via individual therapy leading to successful recovery from the overuse of substances.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
Here's a rewritten blurb incorporating "addiction therapy," "Los Angeles," and "West Hollywood":
"As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing addiction therapy in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for over a decade, I specialize in helping individuals transform their relationship with substances and addictive behaviors. My approach to addiction therapy recognizes that substance use often masks deeper emotional challenges—from unresolved trauma to feelings of powerlessness—and I work with clients to uncover these underlying triggers. Located in the heart of West Hollywood on Santa Monica Boulevard, I offer both in-person and online addiction therapy sessions throughout Los Angeles, combining psychoanalytic insights with evidence-based approaches like DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. Having served as Clinical Director of a Residential Treatment Center, I bring comprehensive expertise to support clients at any stage of recovery, from those questioning their substance use to individuals maintaining long-term sobriety. My West Hollywood practice provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where Los Angeles residents can explore their unique recovery journey, develop healthier coping strategies, and reclaim control over their lives

Hollywood is the Los Angeles neighborhood synonymous with the entertainment industry, where aspiring performers and industry workers live alongside long-term residents, recent immigrants, and one of the city's most visible homeless populations. Its mental health picture is distinctive: rejection and precarity in creative careers, the gap between the neighborhood's mythology and daily reality, and acute street-level need. Los Angeles' enormous therapy market — including many practitioners specializing in creative and entertainment clients — surrounds the neighborhood.
