Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Art therapy can be utilized to explore underlying emotions and triggers related to addiction through creative expression, offering clients a non-verbal outlet for self-reflection and processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may help individuals identify and challenge addictive thought patterns and behaviors, while compassion-focused therapy can foster self-compassion and reduce shame associated with addiction. Family systems therapy can address familial dynamics that contribute to addictive behaviors, while relational therapy focuses on repairing and improving interpersonal relationships that are impacted by addiction.

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.

Substance Abuse
Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I can treat any addictive behavior with the same approach, including gambling, sex addiction, video gaming, drugs/alcohol, other non-suicidal self-harm like cutting, and eating disorder behavior. My view of addictions and treatment approach are different than that of other therapists. Rather than label certain behaviors as "problems" or "bad" or "wrong", I reframe them as coping strategies that unfortunately have caused problems in one or more areas of life. The behavior itself isn't the problem; there are underlying issues that need to be addressed such as unresolved trauma, grief/loss, social isolation, lack of tools to handle intense emotions, low self-worth, and/or lack of meaningful spiritual connection. Once clients access self-compassion and stop judging themselves for engaging in behaviors, they are able to appreciate the fact that they are just trying to cope with the challenges of life as best they can. When we can let go of the shame and stigma attached to addiction, it's much easier to be open to making healthy changes and developing alternative behaviors that actually help and don't cause more harm. Together we will decode and uncover what the underlying issues are that need to be addressed in order to be able to let go of the addictive behavior. I try to focus on what the behavior is communicating and what need the client is trying to meet by engaging in the behavior.
