Substance Abuse
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC
I have experience working with clients with addictions in both inpatient hospital and outpatient practice settings. Substance use can often come with other mental health issues that either are fueling substance use or vice versa.

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.

Rowe Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals who have suffered from both substance and behavioral addictions. I have extensive knowledge of working with those you use buprenorphine to manage opioid addictions, and understand how mental role plays a role in a person's use. Therefore, I treat the individual as a whole, not just their addiction.
