Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Shame and Stigma often prevent individuals facing substance use challenges from seeking the support they deserve. Many fear judgment, rejection, or being misunderstood. In my practice, I use a harm‑reduction approach to create a safe, compassionate, and non‑judgmental space where you can explore your needs openly and without pressure.
Substance use does not develop overnight, and neither does recovery. Sobriety is a gradual, deeply personal process that requires patience, persistence, and support. My role is to meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re contemplating change, reducing use, or working toward long‑term recovery.
I provide evidence‑based guidance, emotional support, and practical strategies to help you navigate this transformative journey at your own pace. You are not alone, and you do not have to have everything figured out to begin.

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.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
In addressing addictions and substance abuse, our approach focuses on understanding the root causes of addiction, breaking the cycle of dependency, and promoting sustainable recovery. We recognize that every journey of substance misuse is unique, and as such, we endeavor to provide personalized, compassionate care tailored to the distinct circumstances and needs of each client.
Specialized Focus on Addiction Recovery
* Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the history and scope of the substance use, alongside any co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. This holistic perspective ensures that all underlying factors are treated concurrently.
* Individualized Counseling Plans: Based on the initial assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention strategies. Our plans are adaptable to the evolving needs of each individual throughout their recovery process.
* Skill Building: A significant focus of therapy is on building skills for managing cravings, avoiding triggers, and coping with daily stresses without relying on substances. These skills are vital for maintaining long-term sobriety and preventing relapse.
* Supportive Environment: We foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can freely discuss their experiences and challenges. The space is a safe zone where individuals are encouraged to explore their emotions and behaviors without fear of criticism.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the role of family dynamics in recovery, we offer family therapy sessions to educate loved ones about addiction and how they can best support the individual’s journey toward recovery.
* Continuous Support and Aftercare: Recovery from addiction is an ongoing process. We provide continuous support and aftercare planning to assist individuals in maintaining their sobriety after they've completed initial treatment phases. This includes connection to support groups, ongoing counseling, and routine check-ins.
Transformative Goals
Our ultimate goal is not just to help clients abstain from addictive substances but to enable them to understand and reshape their life patterns. Through empowerment and self-discovery, individuals are aided in rebuilding their lives, mending relationships, and finding new sources of fulfillment and meaning beyond their addiction.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance abuse, please reach out. Together, we can work towards recovery and a renewed sense of control over your life.

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Addictions and Substance Abuse can provide a heavy burden on your life and impede your life journey. They present a false narrative to you while destroying everything you love and have worked hard to achieve. However, the good news about narratives is they can be edited and rewritten to tell the best story about a overcomer and survivor. Let's rewrite your narrative together!

Using DBT-SUD interventions
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is a perfect treatment for people who are:
more sensitive to emotions
more reactive to emotions
have a slower return to baseline
If any of these things sound familiar for you or your loved one then DBT is probably the answer!
