Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I began working, professionally, with adolescents and adults experiencing the symptoms associated with overuse and / or abuse of substances, specifically, in 2003. I have received specialized training in understanding the nature of addictive behaviors as coping strategies and mechanisms used to deal primarily with underlying challenging life events or situations that are going on in the person's life, whether presently or in the past. What qualifies as meeting the criteria for an addiction or addictive disorder is not always what one may think.

Substance Abuse
Joanne A. Petursson
Psychologist, PsyD
I have an extensive history of working with substance use issues from a harm reduction stance. This means that I meet the client where they are at to help them explore how they would like to change their substance use; whether they want to reduce use or become abstinent. I endeavor to help them achieve the goals that work best for them.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals struggling with addiction, substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, internet addiction, and gaming addiction. He works with clients seeking deeper healing from the emotional pain, trauma, stress, and unhealthy patterns that often contribute to addictive behaviors and difficulty breaking destructive cycles. His goal is to help clients restore emotional balance, improve functioning, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful and lasting change.
Many individuals struggling with addiction feel stuck in patterns of shame, isolation, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or self-destructive coping behaviors. Addiction is often connected to unresolved trauma, difficult life experiences, emotional pain, attachment wounds, or chronic stress. This is one reason why simply being told to “stop” is rarely effective. Lasting recovery requires understanding and healing the underlying issues driving the behavior.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to addiction counseling, recognizing that healing involves the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and sense of purpose. Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s individual needs, goals, and experiences. Clients are provided with a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can openly explore past trauma, triggers, unhealthy coping patterns, emotional struggles, and the deeper causes of addiction.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support recovery and long-term healing. Therapy focuses on helping clients process unresolved trauma, reduce compulsive behaviors, build self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier coping skills and relationships.
Brad believes recovery is about more than simply stopping a behavior or substance use. The goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, restore hope and self-worth, improve emotional well-being, and create a healthier and more fulfilling life without relying on substances or addictive behaviors to cope or feel better about themselves.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond addiction, regain control of their lives, strengthen relationships, and redefine who they are today.
Virtual counseling and online trauma-focused therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional addiction and trauma therapy from the comfort of home.

Substance Abuse
Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
For many of the women I work with, substances or compulsive behaviors show up as a way to manage feelings that never had anywhere else to go - the anxiety that won't turn off, the exhaustion of always being the capable one. I help you understand what the substance is actually doing for you before we talk about doing without it. Real change comes from building other ways to meet that need, not from sheer willpower.
