GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
At Whole Wellness Therapy, our team is devoted to supporting individuals who may be struggling with any form of substance use- whether it be precautionary in recognizing the frequency of a client's use being more than typical, or more severe where a clients use is impacting multiple aspects of their life. Our team takes a compassionate approach to truly understanding a clients relationship with their addictive behaviors, and explores the root of the issue before implimenting solutions. Our Therapists recognize the nature of addiction as something that is often a short term fix to a long term problem. Due to this, we understand it is essential to get to know a person at their core, to understand how to begin healing what's at the core, instead of simply taking away the "short term fix" that has been being used in the meantime. Together, we will come to an understanding and implement more effective solutions.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
In my own journey of recovery i discovered that my own previous misuse of substances was just an overactive coping skill which was functioning to cover up my trauma and attachment disruption. I have found a way to treat these issues via individual therapy leading to successful recovery from the overuse of substances.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Thinking about changing your drinking or substance use can feel daunting or overwhelming. After all, drinking and using do offer some benefits, such as experiencing pleasure, feeling more social, or perhaps even enhancing your sexual experiences. On the flip side, many people also experience numerous downsides, side effects, or unwanted repercussions when they use. Taking inventory of what you have at stake can be helpful in making a decision about whether or not to change. Those reasons can be especially helpful in moments of distress or temptation.
Exploring what might be underneath your drinking or substance use is crucial. Sometimes painful experiences from your past propel you to find a quick solution to the pain. Alcohol and drugs can be effective at numbing pain, but you may be left with unresolved grief, trauma, anger, shame, or guilt. Treatment requires an integrative approach that addresses both the substance use and your emotional pain.
If you have decided that you’d like to change your drinking or substance use, therapy can help you accomplish your goal. There is no “one size fits all” treatment approach when it comes to treating addiction or substance misuse, so let’s work together to determine what will best help you live the life you want. Give me a call me today to get help reaching your substance use treatment goals.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting, somatic therapy along with solution focused talk therapy to be a highly effective path to overcoming addictions. The combination of these approaches address the underlying trauma and unresolved issues from the past but also focus on solutions for creating healthy coping skills and conscious decisions in the present.
