Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. Michael Grey, PsyD, LMFT, ABS
Marriage and Family Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
If you’re struggling with substance use, you might feel stuck in a cycle that’s hard to break—navigating cravings, shame, or the weight of stigma from others. Maybe you’re using substances to cope with pain, trauma, or feelings of isolation, and you’re unsure how to move forward without losing what feels like your only lifeline. You might not be ready to stop, or you may want to change your relationship with substances but feel overwhelmed by where to start.
I want you to know that you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s definition of recovery. Here, your goals—whether they’re about cutting back, using more safely, or exploring your relationship with substances—are what guide our work together. My approach is rooted in harm reduction, which means I meet you where you are without judgment. We’ll focus on safety, self-compassion, and what *you* define as progress, not perfection.
Substance use is often about survival, not failure. Together, we’ll unpack the patterns and pain beneath it, build coping tools that actually work for *you,* and explore what healing means on your terms. You don’t have to do this alone—there’s space here for your story, your choices, and your path forward.

Addictions or 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.
