Substance Abuse
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Problematic addictive behaviors rarely develop in isolation. Often they become a way of coping with painful emotions, difficult experiences, or patterns that once served a protective purpose. Together, we'll approach those struggles with curiosity rather than shame, while exploring what the addictive behavior has been helping you manage. Therapy can help you develop healthier, more flexible ways of responding to life's challenges so that you can gain the freedom to choose the life you want rather than the one addiction has created.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
You may feel stuck in patterns with alcohol or substances that are starting to affect your mood, relationships, or day-to-day life. Part of you may want things to change, while another part feels unsure where to start or how to follow through.
Our work focuses on understanding what’s driving the behavior and building practical ways to respond differently. You’ll develop tools to manage urges, handle stress more effectively, and make decisions that align with what you actually want for yourself.
The goal is steady, realistic progress so you can regain a sense of control, improve your functioning, and move toward a more stable and consistent way of living.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Online in Columbia, MO
Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
