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.

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.

Some issues will required a medical referral please call to discuss. Hypnosis for addictions is an effective therapeutic approach that helps individuals overcome various substance dependencies, such as alcohol, smoking, and drugs. By tapping into the subconscious mind, hypnosis can uncover the root causes of addictive behaviors and promote positive change. This technique enhances self-control, reduces cravings, and fosters healthier coping mechanisms. Many people report significant improvements after just a few sessions, making hypnosis a valuable tool in addiction recovery. Call Mindy Ash Hypnosis Centers to explore how hypnosis can empower you on your journey to a healthier, addiction-free life today.
The dictionary defines addiction as becoming dependent on something and then continuing to increase the amount of substance so that we can feel the same effect. If that is the case then why do people generally stick with the same daily amount of substance for years? Perhaps, because many things that we refer to as addictions such as shopping, chocolate, smoking, 3 glasses of wine a night are really just habits? The behavior starts of slowly and then through repetition it turns into a powerful habit. Habits are in the subconscious mind. The behavior starts off as a benefit, perhaps to help us feel better, but then it turns into a bad or healthy behavior. Behaviors are in our subconscious mind and hypnosis communicates with the subconscious mind. Consciously we may not know why we do what we do but, the subconscious knows. When we use our willpower to change that habit it can feel as if we have a fight going on in our head. With hypnosis we make your mind more congruent, hence the fight goes away easily let go of negative behaviors. Many clients experience success in just a few short sessions.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing substance use and addictive behaviors, with a particular focus on the complex interplay between psychological and physical health. Using a biopsychosocial and evidence-based approach, I help patients understand how substance use interacts with stress, mood, sleep, pain, medical conditions, and other aspects of health, while developing practical strategies for behavior change and long-term recovery. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, recognizing addiction as a complex health condition and supporting patients in building sustainable changes that promote both psychological well-being and overall health.
