Addictions or Substance Abuse
GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.

26 Years Experience
Online in Tallahassee, FL Florida
Tallahassee is home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University — the latter one of the country's most prominent HBCUs — creating a large and diverse student population alongside a substantial state government workforce, and a therapy community shaped by both academic stress and the particular pressures of public service careers. The city's African American community, anchored by a historically rich FAMU culture, drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial identity, HBCU community life, and intergenerational resilience. Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Capital Regional Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Tallahassee's geographic distance from Florida's major metros makes it an important regional mental health hub for a large surrounding rural area.
