San Mateo, California therapist: Charles I. Flores, Vital Puma Integral Recovery, licensed professional counselor
Substance Abuse

Charles I. Flores, Vital Puma Integral Recovery

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LAADC-S, MAC, CCMHC
For 30 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. I am 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.

Anders Greenwood

Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
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.

San Francisco, California therapist: Talia Chanoff, marriage and family therapist
Substance Abuse

Talia Chanoff

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer substance use support grounded in a person-centered approach that honors your autonomy, dignity, and lived experience as primary and fundamental to treatment. Maybe you are working towards harm reduction and shifting your relationship to substances, or maybe you are hoping to become or remain abstinent. Either way, rather than focusing on labels, our work centers on curiosity, compassion, and understanding your relationship with substances within the broader context of your life. Together, we explore what feels supportive, sustainable, and aligned with your values, creating space for change that is rooted in care rather than shame.

San Francisco, California therapist: Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor, therapist
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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Elaine Skoulas, marriage and family therapist
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.
