Substance Abuse
Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
When you are struggling with addiction or substance abuse, it can feel like you are trapped in a cycle of shame, isolation, and unyielding cravings. I look at addiction through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens—recognizing that substance use often begins as a way to cope with deep emotional pain, unresolved trauma, or overwhelming stress. Together, we will work to heal the root of the issue using advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand the parts of you driving these behaviors. Concurrently, I will arm you with practical CBT and DBT skills to manage intense urges, navigate triggers, and build daily emotional resilience. You don’t have to carry this burden alone; let's work together to break the cycle and build a fulfilling life rooted in genuine healing and lasting recovery.

Substance Abuse
Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Substance Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Addiction is something which I have several years of experience treating. People are often surprised to learn that treatment for substance abuse is not at all what they thought it would be. Typically, those with severe addictions will require a lifetime goal of sobriety while those with more mild addictions may acquire the ability to practice “controlled use” of chemicals. We will do a careful assessment of your symptoms so that effective goals for treatment can be established.

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.
