Addictions or Substance Abuse
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
When it comes to addictions or substance abuse, I start by getting where the client is coming from—like, their feelings of not being good enough, anxiety, feeling down, and just not being satisfied with parts of their life. We dive into what makes them turn to substances and figure out better ways to handle their emotions and deal with stress. We also dig into any stuff from the past or issues in their relationships that might be playing into it. And if they're feeling lost about where life's headed, we tackle that too.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
My aim is to create a nurturing space where my clients feel supported as they explore their addiction and work towards positive changes in their lives. It all starts with a thorough assessment to truly understand their individual journey. Drawing from a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing, I guide them in developing coping strategies, unpacking underlying emotional issues, and rediscovering their sense of self-worth. Plus, I'm here to provide couples or family therapy, offering a safe haven to address any relationship dynamics that may be influencing their addiction. Together, we'll navigate this journey with compassion and understanding, empowering them to thrive.

Christensen and Sons, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW: LCSW, LSW, PEL
Addiction is problem that affects individuals, their families, and friends. However, many addicts deny that they have a problem and refuse to seek help. In some cases, the family finds itself unable to help. In our sessions we first assist the addict and then when possible, the family. Individual counseling is confidential and personal and involves the counselor meeting face to face with the addict to discuss recovery.
