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.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have many years of experience in treating addictions, and frequently co-occurring issues including relationship distress, family conflict, anxiety and depression, job stress and burnout, past trauma, grief and life transitions. Addictions are very difficult to overcome on your own. I can help you successfully manage addictions to alcohol and substance use, and also non-substance related behavioral-addictions including screen addiction, gaming, shopping addiction and emotional eating. Watch my talk on shopping addiction, from a training for treatment providers at the Alta Mira recovery program here: https://youtu.be/eyPcHartGvU?si=3DX_HMl1bMPWl1wJ
I work online with adult individuals, older teens, or couples. And I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from sabotaging habits, old patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
As someone who has struggled with addiction, I deeply understand the feeling of needing to use or abuse substances in order to survive in this world. The shame we feel when we are in the quicksand of addiction stunts our growth and keeps us in the same place. The fact is, addiction tricks us into thinking we are mitigating pain when in reality it is producting more trauma within us. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to express all your feelings about your addiction with no shame or judgment so you can feel motivated to make change.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
have extensive experience and am happy to support those struggling with substance abuse and other behavioral addictions. I work from a harm reduction, client-centered approach using CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused recovery methodology. Please be aware that while I support those for whom the beliefs may work for, I do not work from a twelve step based perspective on 'addiction.' I work with people struggling with a variety of issues--not 'addicts.' We are each so much more than that! Moreover, shame does not heal.

Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of therapists in the United States, with a culture that broadly embraces personal growth, self-development, and long-term therapeutic work. The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny. LA's extraordinary diversity means therapists fluent in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Farsi, Armenian, and Tagalog are all abundant, making culturally matched care particularly accessible. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
