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.

Blair P. Bisher
Treatment Center, NCC, PhD(c), CSAT-c, MS, MHA, PMP
I have worked as an addiction specialist, in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings over the last 23 years. I've distilled that knowledge down to a core curriculum that I tailor to each client who see quick results, which can be boosted by their level of engagement. I do also work with partners and families involved.

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.

New Bedford is a southeastern Massachusetts city with one of the most distinctive identities of any American city of its size—Herman Melville's Moby-Dick opens here, and the city was once the richest per capita in America thanks to its whaling industry—now home to the highest-volume commercial fishing port in the United States by dollar value, with an economy still anchored by fishing, manufacturing, and logistics. The city has a large Cape Verdean-American community (one of the largest in the world outside Cape Verde), as well as significant Portuguese and Brazilian populations, and the intersection of these communities' mental health needs—including the specific experiences of Cape Verdean identity, immigration, and intergenerational stress—creates important considerations for culturally competent care. Southcoast Health provides behavioral health services, and community health organizations serve the diverse population. Common therapy concerns include fishing industry occupational trauma and risk, Cape Verdean and Portuguese-American identity and immigration stress, economic anxiety, substance use (New Bedford has been significantly affected by opioids), and the mental health challenges of a proud working-class city navigating industrial and demographic change.
