Addictions or Substance Abuse
Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Addiction isn’t just about the substance or behavior—it’s about the pain, disconnection, and patterns underneath it. Whether you're struggling with drugs, alcohol, or compulsive behaviors like sex or gambling, I work with you to understand what’s driving the cycle. Together, we’ll look at the emotional, relational, and historical pieces that keep you stuck, and start building something different.
I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. I meet you where you are, whether that’s early in your recovery or after multiple attempts to stop. I also support partners and loved ones who have been impacted by addiction, especially when trust and safety in the relationship have been shaken.
Addiction recovery is possible. You don’t have to do it alone—and you don’t have to keep living in survival mode.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
Many people use alcohol and drugs to self-medicate and cope with problems. When the coping mechanism becomes part of the problem, it is time to make a change. An individualized plan is needed to help each person succeed whether it is for abstinence or simply self-control in social situations.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
In my experience working with those who have substance abuse issues, the 12-step model is quite effective. However, there are other approaches that also work, including CBT, DBT, and Person-centered therapies. I am willing to work with the approach the client feels is best for them.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.
