Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. William Christiana
Psychologist, PsyD
Have you found yourself drinking more than you would like? Do friends and family express concerns about your drug or alcohol use? Are you worried about how your substance use is effecting your physical health, mental health, relationships, or performance at work? Has it been difficult to stop or cut down on your own? Are you thinking about making some changes? While it can be difficult to take the first step towards change, it is not one you have to take alone. My goal is to create a safe space where people can explore and understand their use, openly discuss the changes they are considering, choose a path forward, and learn the skills to get there.

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.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Substance abuse addiction is a disease that affects not only the user but his or her family members. Abstinence does not solve the problem. Instead, I can help you and your family develop a new lifestyle that does require the use of mood-altering substances. Please read my book “Bulletproof Recovery” to know more about how my approach can help you achieve peace of mind and serenity.

Drug and Alcohol Counselor, ACPS ICCJP LAADC LCDC MAC SAP
Addiction or substance use disorder is a medical condition that affects the brain and behavior of a person, leading to an inability to control the use of legal or illegal drugs or medicines. Substances such as alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine are also considered drugs. The symptoms of addiction include intense urges for the drug that block out any other thoughts, needing more of the drug to get the same effect, taking larger amounts of the drug over a longer period of time than intended, and continuing to use the drug despite the harm it causes. Withdrawal symptoms can occur when a person stops using the drug. Treatment for addiction may include medication, behavioral therapy, and support groups.
