Daniel Slavin
Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with substance use in a non-judgmental and respectful way, helping clients understand what role substances play in their emotional life and relationships. Rather than focusing only on stopping behavior, we explore underlying stress, pain, or unmet needs and develop healthier ways of coping, connecting, and caring for oneself.

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.

Torrance is a South Bay Los Angeles city with one of the largest Japanese-American communities on the mainland — a legacy of Toyota's former US headquarters and American Honda's continuing one — alongside diverse middle-class neighborhoods and a strong healthcare sector. Mental health needs include Asian-American family and identity dynamics, where culturally informed care matters and stigma can delay help-seeking, plus the standard pressures of high-cost coastal California life. Torrance Memorial and Providence Little Company of Mary anchor healthcare, with a broad LA market nearby.
