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.

Kristy Harrington
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
What happens when you don't engage in your addictive behavior? Let's explore that question together. Addiction often isn't about the substance or behavior itself, and more about what's underneath. I'll help you understand the roots of your addiction, develop alternative coping strategies, and help you clarify what you need to make lasting change.

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.

Addictions and Substance abuse often come as an attempt to cope with difficulties in one's personal life. They are often the sign or symptom of a deeper issue.
