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.

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.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
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.

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.

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.
