Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with many clients who are struggling with substance use, sobriety, relapse, and the complicated feelings that surround addiction. My approach is harm reduction and compassion-based, influenced by Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practices. I have both professional experience in inpatient treatment and personal experience with addiction in my family, and I understand that addiction is rarely just about the substance—it’s often about pain, trauma, loneliness, and trying to cope. In our work together, we focus on reducing harm, understanding what the addiction is doing for you, and building other ways to survive and cope.

Substance Abuse
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
My work with addiction is grounded in the understanding that substance use is often an adaptive response to distress. Through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, we explore the patterns that have developed to manage overwhelm, disconnection, or pain. This allows for a shift from self-criticism to understanding, creating the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.

A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
Addiction changes the way people think, cope, connect, and survive. I work with people who are tired of white-knuckling it, hiding it, minimizing it, or feeling trapped in the same cycle. My approach is honest, direct, and deeply human. Together we focus on understanding the patterns underneath the behavior, rebuilding self-respect, and creating real momentum toward a more stable and meaningful life.
