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.

Russell Beebe
Life Coach, Counselor, LCMHC, CSAT,
Our recovery coaching program supports men struggling with addictive behaviors, including compulsive sexual behavior and related dependency patterns. While many addiction models focus primarily on substances, we work specifically with behavioral addictions that follow similar neurological and psychological reinforcement cycles. This structured coaching approach emphasizes accountability, clear boundaries, and practical recovery tools designed to interrupt compulsive patterns and build long-term stability.

Substance Abuse
Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Substance abuse can significantly impact various aspects of your life, including physical health, relationships, career, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, prescription medications, or other substances, therapy can provide the support and tools you need to break the cycle of substance abuse and addiction. In therapy, we’ll explore the underlying emotional triggers that contribute to substance abuse and work together to develop healthy coping mechanisms, build emotional resilience, and strengthen your relationships. I offer evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and relapse prevention techniques to help you manage cravings, stress, and triggers. I also offer harm reduction strategies as part of a personalized approach to treatment, helping individuals minimize the negative consequences of substance abuse and make gradual progress toward recovery at their own pace. My goal is to help you regain control over your life and move toward lasting change. Whether you’re just starting your recovery journey or seeking additional support, therapy can guide you toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Des Moines is Iowa's state capital and the center of America's insurance industry — home to Principal Financial Group, Wellmark, and dozens of other major insurers — creating a therapy demand shaped by the particular stresses of financial services careers alongside the concerns of a growing and increasingly diverse urban population. The city has experienced dramatic demographic change through refugee resettlement and immigration, with growing communities from Myanmar, Congo, and Latin America making it one of the most rapidly diversifying mid-size cities in the Midwest. UnityPoint Health — Iowa Methodist Medical Center and MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community concentrated in the West Des Moines and Urbandale corridors. Iowa's relative shortage of mental health providers makes Des Moines an important access point for the broader state, and many therapists here serve clients from smaller surrounding communities.
