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.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Treating addiction is both a professional and a personal passion of mine. I've been in recovery for my own addictions for more than 23 years. Helping others find relief from the relentless problem of addiction is perhaps the most meaningful aspect of my work. I embrace a combination of psychotherapy, emotional healing and group support to really attack the addiction from all sides. Please visit my website (BarbaraJCounseling.com) to read more about my approach to addiction treatment - my #1 practice specialty.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I seek to create a safe, professional refuge for you to learn about your pattern of using or drinking and to explore the path to healing that feels right for you. I take a boradly harm-reduction approach that can include experimenting with spectrum from moderation to abstinence. I also work with family members impacted by a loved one’s substance use, focusing on understanding addiction, connecting with resources, setting boundaries, and coping.
