New York City, New York therapist: Liberation Therapy, counselor/therapist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

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.

New York City, New York therapist: Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy, psychologist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy

Psychologist, PhD
I am a Licensed Psychologist specializing in treating addiction, with a strong background in inpatient and outpatient recovery settings. Together, we understand how mental health challenges and addiction are often interconnected, with substance use frequently serving as a way to cope with emotional pain. Many people find recovery difficult when underlying mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD and ADHD remain untreated. I work with you to address those issues and strengthen sobriety skills. I support individuals seeking outpatient services to establish or maintain a healthier relationship to substances and those transitioning from residential treatment or intensive outpatient programs. Whether your goal is abstinence or harm reduction, I provide evidence-based support to help you gain and maintain recovery, prevent relapse, and build a meaningful life in sobriety. I work with you to understand the patterns driving substance use and to change behaviors that no longer serve you.

Rhinebeck, New York therapist: Dr Laura Soden, psychologist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

Dr Laura Soden

Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Substance abuse recovery must include physical, emotional, and relational remedies, may begin with harm reduction, but must end in abstinence, and, I believe, must proceed in conjunction with 12-Step programs. The psychological aspect of treatment must target the negative emotional sequelae of addiction--shame, guilt, self-hatred, shattered relationships.

New York City has the largest and most diverse therapy community in the world, with practitioners representing virtually every therapeutic modality, cultural background, and specialty area. The city's pace, density, and cost of living generate pervasive anxiety and burnout, while its diverse boroughs mean therapists fluent in dozens of languages serve communities from every corner of the globe. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone Health, and Weill Cornell Medicine anchor an extensive academic mental health infrastructure, supplemented by thousands of independent practitioners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. New York's therapy culture is deeply embedded — many residents maintain years-long therapeutic relationships and consider finding the right therapist one of the more important decisions they make.
