Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, but meaningful change is possible. I work with adults who are questioning their relationship with alcohol or other substances, whether they are seeking full recovery or exploring harm reduction. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in evidence-based practices including motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation. I help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to them. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Substance Abuse
Jennifer Luttman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
Alcohol abuse is any pattern of drinking in an individual which may be harmful to their health. While moderate amounts of alcohol consumption (defined as two drinks per day for men, and one drink per day for women) are common and may even confer slight health benefits, alcohol abuse occurs when a person consumes excessive amounts of alcohol regularly or over a short period of time. Alcohol abuse often persists despite social, professional, and legal consequences that may occur due to a person's drinking.
Alcohol abuse is different from alcohol dependence, which is commonly known as addiction. While alcohol abuse frequently occurs as a consequence of alcohol dependence and addiction, the causes of alcohol abuse are complex, and alcohol abuse can likewise occur without the presence of alcohol dependence. Mental illness, abuse, poor economic and social conditions, and peer pressure are all major factors that can contribute to the development of alcohol abuse, as well as genetics and the potential for alcohol dependence, so it is important to take an individual's entire history into account when determining the root cause of their alcohol abuse.

Colorado Springs is one of the most militarized cities in the United States, home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, NORAD, and the United States Air Force Academy — creating exceptional demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, and the challenges of military family life. The city also has a large evangelical Christian population and many conservative religious families, making faith-integrated therapy a particularly prominent offering among local practitioners. UCHealth Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving both the military community and the city's growing civilian population. Colorado Springs' proximity to Denver means some residents access additional specialist care in the larger metro, though the local therapy community has grown substantially in recent years.
