Gainesville, Georgia therapist: Danny Boylan, licensed professional counselor

Substance Abuse

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.

Substance Abuse

Lisa Cleary

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW

If you find yourself turning to alcohol, relationships, food, or other behaviors to cope, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Many addictive patterns develop as a way to manage overwhelming emotions, stress, or unresolved experiences. In therapy, we focus on understanding what’s driving the urge rather than just trying to control it. Using approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed therapies, I help you build healthier ways to cope, reduce shame, and create lasting change so you can feel more in control of your choices and your life.
