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
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.

Substance Abuse
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
In addressing addictions and substance abuse, our approach focuses on understanding the root causes of addiction, breaking the cycle of dependency, and promoting sustainable recovery. We recognize that every journey of substance misuse is unique, and as such, we endeavor to provide personalized, compassionate care tailored to the distinct circumstances and needs of each client.
Specialized Focus on Addiction Recovery
* Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the history and scope of the substance use, alongside any co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. This holistic perspective ensures that all underlying factors are treated concurrently.
* Individualized Counseling Plans: Based on the initial assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Relapse Prevention strategies. Our plans are adaptable to the evolving needs of each individual throughout their recovery process.
* Skill Building: A significant focus of therapy is on building skills for managing cravings, avoiding triggers, and coping with daily stresses without relying on substances. These skills are vital for maintaining long-term sobriety and preventing relapse.
* Supportive Environment: We foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can freely discuss their experiences and challenges. The space is a safe zone where individuals are encouraged to explore their emotions and behaviors without fear of criticism.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the role of family dynamics in recovery, we offer family therapy sessions to educate loved ones about addiction and how they can best support the individual’s journey toward recovery.
* Continuous Support and Aftercare: Recovery from addiction is an ongoing process. We provide continuous support and aftercare planning to assist individuals in maintaining their sobriety after they've completed initial treatment phases. This includes connection to support groups, ongoing counseling, and routine check-ins.
Transformative Goals
Our ultimate goal is not just to help clients abstain from addictive substances but to enable them to understand and reshape their life patterns. Through empowerment and self-discovery, individuals are aided in rebuilding their lives, mending relationships, and finding new sources of fulfillment and meaning beyond their addiction.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance abuse, please reach out. Together, we can work towards recovery and a renewed sense of control over your life.
