Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, especially when it starts to affect your relationships, work, or sense of control. You might feel stuck between wanting change and not knowing how to get there. Therapy focuses on helping you understand the patterns behind your use, identify triggers, and build healthier ways to cope. The goal is to support you in making changes that feel realistic and sustainable, whether that means reducing use, maintaining sobriety, or gaining clarity about what you want moving forward.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Substance use is often less about the substance itself and more about what it helps manage or avoid. I work with individuals to understand the underlying emotional patterns, stressors, and relational dynamics connected to use. Together, we focus on building awareness, increasing tolerance for difficult internal states, and developing more sustainable ways of coping and relating.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Addiction problems play havoc in families, relationships and one's health. Often, depression, anxiety and PTSD are underlying problems in addiction. No one wakes up one morning saying to themselves, "I want to become an addict." Most addicted people would turn back the clock if they could. But there is hope. One day at a time, a person can change their life for the better -- and forever. I worked in the Addiction Medicine Dept at Kaiser and did a residency at Betty Ford.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Addictions are the solution to a problem, not the problem itself. In order to truly resolve addictions, we need to go under the hood where the problem actually lies, or else 'sobriety' will just look like bouncing from one addiction to the next. If this sounds like you - let's get to work.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
