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.

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.

My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, recognizing addiction as a complex health condition and supporting patients in building sustainable changes that promote both psychological well-being and overall health.

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.
