Addictions or Substance Abuse
Cassandra Cannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a former Clinical Director in a residential drug and alcohol treatment program, I'm quite familiar with trauma informed addiction treatment. In fact, I spent my first few years as an EMDR practitioner providing EMDR specifically to address addiction. You need a provider who is familiar with relapse warning signs and how to target internal and external triggers for lapse/relapse.
I combine relapse prevention treatment with EMDR to address the reasons why substance use became your "go to" coping skill and help you proactively plan how to address upcoming "danger zones" in your life. I'm comfortable with the multiple EMDR Addiction Protocols along with the ability to flexibly move between different protocols and treatment interventions as needed.
13 Years Experience
Addictions or Substance Abuse
Charles I. Flores, Vital Puma Integral Recovery
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LAADC-S, MAC, CCMHC
For 25 years, I have assisted people with a variety of addictions, from the exogenous abuse of drugs and alcohol, to the ones that stem from the chemicals already inside the brain, such as sex and love addiction, abandonment patterns, sexual compulsions, gambling, internet, and workaholism. Unlike most psychotherapists, I’m a Board Certified Addiction Specialist, well versed in both abstinence and harm reduction strategies. Unlike most addiction professionals, I am also psychotherapist who also treats the anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues that often manifest after being uncovered through recovery.

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.
