Substance Abuse
Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
I specialize in helping people break free from cycles of addiction and substance use with compassion, honesty, and zero shame. Whether you’re in recovery, questioning your relationship with substances, or navigating relapse, I provide a supportive space to explore what’s really driving those patterns. My focus is on understanding the person behind the behavior, helping you heal, rebuild trust in yourself, and create lasting change on your own terms.

Substance Abuse
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Addiction does not occur in a vacuum. It is often the visible manifestation of a deeper wound, unmet attachment need, unresolved trauma, or emotional pain that has not found another place to go. What begins as an attempt to find relief, connection, control, or escape can gradually become a source of profound suffering in its own right. Meaningful recovery requires accountability for the consequences of addiction while also understanding the function it has served. Treating the behavior without addressing what lives beneath it may interrupt the cycle temporarily, but lasting change requires helping the person develop safer ways to regulate pain, tolerate emotion, experience connection, and build a life they no longer need to escape.

Substance Abuse
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, especially when it starts to affect your relationships, work, or sense of control. You might feel stuck between wanting change and not knowing how to get there. Therapy focuses on helping you understand the patterns behind your use, identify triggers, and build healthier ways to cope. The goal is to support you in making changes that feel realistic and sustainable, whether that means reducing use, maintaining sobriety, or gaining clarity about what you want moving forward.

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.

I helped create the treatment program for a substance use clinic in La Jolla, California where I also conducted individual and group therapy. I also have a strong background in treating sex addictions, gambling, and food-related addictions. I use empirically methods to support both those struggling with addictions and their loved ones.
