Substance Abuse
Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
When appropriate, I take a harm-reduction approach to alcohol use—focusing on realistic, personalized strategies that meet you where you are. This might include exploring goals beyond strict abstinence, especially if traditional all-or-nothing models haven’t felt like the right fit. The emphasis is on making meaningful changes that support your well-being, not perfection.

Center for Authentic Life & Relationship, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CPCS, CSAT-S, CAADC, EMDR, CSTOP-Candidate
I am certified in Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counseling through the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Certification Board of Georgia. In addition to my clinical counseling experience, I founded a large ASAM Level 3.1 residential treatment program for alcohol and drug addiction, where I also developed the treatment curriculum and clinical program structure. My approach is informed by years of hands-on experience helping individuals understand substance use, build healthier coping strategies, strengthen recovery supports, and work toward lasting change. Whether you are questioning your relationship with alcohol or drugs, seeking recovery, or trying to maintain progress after treatment, I provide informed, compassionate, and practical support tailored to your needs.

Addiction can feel isolating—but recovery doesn’t have to be a journey you take alone. Whether you're struggling with substance use, compulsive behaviors, or the impact of addiction on relationships, therapy can be a powerful step toward lasting change. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space to explore the root causes of addiction, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a life grounded in clarity, connection, and purpose. Together, we’ll work at your pace to create a path to recovery that’s meaningful and sustainable.

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.
