Substance Abuse
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.

Substance Abuse
Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Addiction often starts as a way to cope with pain that felt unbearable. I know this firsthand from my own recovery, and I hold a Colorado Certified Addiction Specialist credential. Together we look at what alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviors have been doing for you, and use somatic and relational work to help your nervous system find steadier ways to feel okay. Whether your goal is abstinence or harm reduction, I’ll meet you where you are.

Substance Abuse
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.
