Addictions or Substance Abuse
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Substance abuse addiction is a disease that affects not only the user but his or her family members. Abstinence does not solve the problem. Instead, I can help you and your family develop a new lifestyle that does require the use of mood-altering substances. Please read my book “Bulletproof Recovery” to know more about how my approach can help you achieve peace of mind and serenity.

Dr. Kevin Goldberg
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Substances of all types help us feel better, to an extent. Sometimes the feeling we get from substances isn't worth it anymore.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Addiction is something which I have several years of experience treating. People are often surprised to learn that treatment for substance abuse is not at all what they thought it would be. Typically, those with severe addictions will require a lifetime goal of sobriety while those with more mild addictions may acquire the ability to practice “controlled use” of chemicals. We will do a careful assessment of your symptoms so that effective goals for treatment can be established.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. William Christiana
Psychologist, PsyD
Have you found yourself drinking more than you would like? Do friends and family express concerns about your drug or alcohol use? Are you worried about how your substance use is effecting your physical health, mental health, relationships, or performance at work? Has it been difficult to stop or cut down on your own? Are you thinking about making some changes? While it can be difficult to take the first step towards change, it is not one you have to take alone. My goal is to create a safe space where people can explore and understand their use, openly discuss the changes they are considering, choose a path forward, and learn the skills to get there.
