If alcohol, drugs, or other addictive behaviors are interfering with your relationships, well-being, or sense of control, you deserve understanding rather than judgment. I offer a compassionate, confidential environment where we can explore the emotional experiences and patterns underlying these difficulties. Together, we can work toward healthier coping strategies, greater self-awareness, and lasting positive changes that support a more satisfying and balanced life.

Substance Abuse
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Substance use can slowly become something that no longer feels like a choice. What may have started as relief, escape, or a way to cope can turn into a pattern that is difficult to shift, even when you know it is no longer serving you. I work with individuals who are questioning their relationship with alcohol or substances, in early recovery, or feeling caught between wanting change and not knowing how to begin. My training with the California Association for Drug and Alcohol Educators (CAADE) and years of experience in addiction treatment allow me to approach this work with honesty, compassion, and respect for the complexity of recovery.

Substance Abuse
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Is your addiction a symptom of some deeper pain, or the sole obstacle to a life otherwise pleasantly lived? Using harm reduction informed, evidence based cognitive, narrative, and motivational approaches, we can identify and map out your relationship with your substance use/abuse/misuse, or behavior, the role it plays in maintaining the status quo, and what it would look like to remove it entirely.

Substance Abuse
Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
As an individual in long-term recovery, I intimately understand the challenges of getting and staying sober from alcohol and other substances. Loss of friends and your social circle, persistent feelings of isolation, and finding new means of coping with difficult situations/emotions/stress are just a few of the issues I tackle with clients in recovery. I am uniquely equipped to help both newly sober individuals as well as those in long-term recovery.
