Substance Abuse
Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach substance use and addiction with the belief that these struggles are not identities, but meaningful responses to pain, wounding, and unmet needs. Rather than defining someone by a label, I understand substance use as a coping strategy that once served a purpose — even if it has since become harmful or limiting.
In my work with clients who are struggling with substance use, the focus is not on shame, labels, or rigid frameworks, but on understanding what the substance use is doing for you and what may be driving it beneath the surface. For many people, these patterns develop in response to early emotional wounds, trauma, chronic stress, or long-standing difficulties with emotional regulation. Exploring these underlying drivers can open the door to deeper understanding and meaningful change.
I work collaboratively and at a pace that respects each client’s autonomy and readiness. This is often slower, reflective work, but it allows space for insight, self-compassion, and the development of healthier ways of coping that feel authentic and sustainable. Change does not have to be built on shame or imposed identities; it can emerge through understanding, healing, and choice.

Kelly Baez
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Embarking on the journey towards sobriety is a courageous step, and you don't have to walk this path alone. As an experienced addiction counselor, I believe in providing compassionate support tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Whether you're transitioning from an inpatient program, seeking to address trauma alongside intensive outpatient work, or striving to maintain long-term sobriety, counseling can be a valuable tool in your recovery journey.
In our sessions, we'll focus not just on abstaining from substances, but on understanding the underlying issues driving your addiction. Together, we'll explore healthier coping mechanisms and develop practical strategies to navigate life's challenges without relying on substances for relief. My approach is rooted in the belief that addiction is not a moral failing, but a complex issue that requires empathy, understanding, and a commitment to change.
Let's work together to uncover your inner strength, cultivate resilience, and build a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and sobriety. Your journey to recovery starts here.
