Anders Greenwood
Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Sarah Easton
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Often the use of substances or other addictions can shape harmful cycles of shame and self-criticism. I work with folks struggling with their relationship to addictive patterns to build a deeper sense of motivation, insight and emotion regulation. I will support you from a nonjudgemental and compassionate place to move away from old habits and towards what you deeply value. My specialization in addiction stems from many years of experiences working in an intensive outpatient addiction treatment program at the Palo Alto VA Medical Center.

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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Understanding your triggers to relapse is the best tool for staying clean and sober. A few counseling sessions digging into the triggers can save you a lot of grief as you begin to grasp why it's hard to stay clean. I have a solid understanding of 12-step treatment and recommend it for ongoing support, helping you find identity, purpose and direction. If you need help getting clean/sober for the first time, I can walk you through that process too.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In addressing the challenges of addictions or substance abuse, I offer a holistic and personalized approach, grounded in compassion and understanding. Incorporating Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I work alongside clients to explore the root causes of addiction, foster emotional resilience, and develop effective coping strategies. This comprehensive method allows us to address both the behavioral aspects of substance abuse and its underlying emotional and psychological dimensions. By focusing on self-awareness and self-compassion, I help clients build a foundation for lasting recovery, guiding them towards healthier habits and thought patterns. Our journey together is designed to empower individuals to regain control of their lives, making positive changes that support both sobriety and overall well-being. For those seeking a path out of addiction and towards a more fulfilling life, I am here to support your steps towards healing and self-discovery, offering the tools and insights needed for transformation.
