Substance Abuse
Kenyah Mickens-Smith
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCAS
As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), I support individuals navigating recovery, and the deeper emotional experiences that often come with it. I support clients in understanding the “why” behind their patterns, whether connected to trauma, relationships, or life transitions, and help them move toward healing in a way that feels sustainable.

Substance Abuse
Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I use a harm reduction philosophy and motivational interviewing strategies to help clients explore the role substance use is playing in their lives and how this differs from what they want out of life. We'll work together to determine a goal that fits your values, and come up with a plan that addresses the motivations underlying your use (eg, coping with emotions or stress, seeking pleasure/enjoyment, engaging socially). As you get closer to your goals, we'll anticipate possible future challenges so you feel confident navigating difficult situations without returning to old habits.

Substance Abuse
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Substance use doesn’t happen in a vacuum—and it’s rarely as simple as “just stop.” For many people, it’s tied to stress, trauma, burnout, identity, and the pressure of navigating environments that don’t always feel safe, affirming, or aligned. Culture plays a role too—whether that’s family expectations, community norms around alcohol or substances, stigma about getting help, or the ways substance use is normalized, hidden, or policed differently across communities.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t stay at the surface. We actively work with you to map out your patterns, understand your triggers, and identify what your substance use is helping you manage or avoid. From there, we build something more sustainable—whether that’s harm reduction, boundaries, alternative coping strategies, or a clearer path toward recovery. We’ll also name and unpack the cultural and systemic factors shaping your experience, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This is collaborative, honest work focused on helping you move toward the kind of relationship with substances—and with yourself—that actually feels aligned.
