GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting, somatic therapy along with solution focused talk therapy to be a highly effective path to overcoming addictions. The combination of these approaches address the underlying trauma and unresolved issues from the past but also focus on solutions for creating healthy coping skills and conscious decisions in the present.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
I offer psychotherapy, usually in conjunction with 12-step or other addiction-specific group -participation. Conducting research and publishing in the field, I help people struggling with substance abuse overcome those long-standing pathogenic beliefs getting in their way. As clients achieve a clean and sober life, free of the chemical prison of addiction, an optimistic future opens up before them. I follow my clients as they overcome the challenges ahead and support their efforts as they redesign their lives while learning to use methods useful in relapse prevention.

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.
