Addictions or Substance Abuse
Ross W. Hackerson
Life Coach, Life Coach
Relapse Prevention and Recovery are our focus with Substance Abuse. I work with Behavioral Addictions such as sex addiction, pornography, hoarding, and anger too. Recovery/relapse prevention for Substance addictions requires 9 months sobriety and three five day intensives. Other addictions are by arrangement. My modality of choice is Image Transformation Therapy and the EMDR Feeling State focused model. I find this model creates actual behavioral and motivational change, not just curbing desire and gutting it out.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Angelynn Lindor
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
With over a decade of experience in the addiction and recovery field, I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to supporting individuals on their path to healing. I understand addiction as a chronic brain disease that affects both behavior and emotional regulation—but I also recognize the deep emotional, spiritual, and relational layers that come with it. Through a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and spiritual insight (when welcomed), I help clients break through shame, build healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with purpose. Whether you're in early recovery, navigating relapse, or seeking support as a loved one, this space is grounded in hope, honesty, and healing.

Addiction therapy, also known as addiction counseling or substance abuse therapy, is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on assisting individuals in overcoming and managing their addiction to hazardous substances or behaviors. Addiction is a complex and chronic disorder that affects both the brain and behavior, resulting in compulsive substance use or addictive behaviors despite adverse consequences.
Addiction therapy is an essential component of addiction treatment and recovery and is frequently employed in conjunction with other methods, such as medical interventions, support groups, and lifestyle modifications.
