MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Addictions can overtake your life, but addictions are not who you really are in life. Overcoming addictions through hypnotherapy involves addressing the subconscious mind, where habits and behaviors are deeply rooted. As a Certified Hypnotherapist, I guide clients into a state of deep relaxation, making them more receptive to positive suggestions and changes. During hypnotherapy sessions, we work together to identify the underlying triggers and emotional factors contributing to the addiction.

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.

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.
