Substance Abuse
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Problematic addictive behaviors rarely develop in isolation. Often they become a way of coping with painful emotions, difficult experiences, or patterns that once served a protective purpose. Together, we'll approach those struggles with curiosity rather than shame, while exploring what the addictive behavior has been helping you manage. Therapy can help you develop healthier, more flexible ways of responding to life's challenges so that you can gain the freedom to choose the life you want rather than the one addiction has created.

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.

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.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
"When the Son sets you free you will be free indeed". Addiction isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a cry for healing. Behind every destructive habit lies a story of pain, shame, and unmet need. Recovery begins when you stop running from your truth and start facing it with love. Freedom isn’t found in fighting harder — it’s found in forgiving deeper, believing again, and rebuilding from within. You are not your past, your cravings, or your mistakes. You are the courage to begin again. Healing is possible — and your comeback story is waiting to be written.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Alcohol and marijuana use can often be related to suppressing or avoiding negative emotion. While this works in the short-term, it doesn't address our tendency to avoid or fix the emotional problems we're having. Through therapy, we will work to increase your tolerance to negative emotional states and replace alcohol and marijuana use with healthier coping strategies.
