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.

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.

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.

Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, overwhelming, and hard to talk about. I work with individuals who want to better understand their relationship with substances, explore the patterns driving their use, and develop healthier ways of coping. Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to build insight, strengthen motivation for change, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
