Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Treating addiction and substance use requires moving past the grand strategy of "just stop doing it," which carries a 0% success rate. Getting clean and staying that way requires actually addressing the problem rather than managing the collateral damage. Motivation is overrated; systems matter. Waiting to "feel ready" to quit is a trap. Recovery starts with changing your environment, cutting off access, and showing up even when you don't want to.

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.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I wrote my dissertation on "Reducing Denial In Addictions: An Alternative Integrated Group Approach." I have found that there are many alternatives to 12 step work around addictions or substance abuse. The most important piece I have taken away from 12 step and my 35 years of personal growth experience is one must surrender and let go to their Higher Power, whatever and/or who that is. In my 25 years of practice, the people that have struggled the most are people that do not want to give up control and/or do not have a higher power. I have many ways to teach letting go and surrendering if substances are making ones life unmanageable. If ones life revolves around alcohol or other substances, ones life has become unmanageable and ones higher power becomes the substance(s). It becomes way too much when one is trying to handle life's challenges all by themselves, regardless of what they may be.

Lauren Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC
Prior to working in private practice, I co-ran an intensive outpatient program for individuals with alcohol use disorder. I have worked in community mental health, partial hospitalization, withdrawal management and inpatient rehab and have a long history of working with people experiencing addictions. My approach is less "old school/tough love" and more compassion and building skills to create a life in recovery.
