Substance Abuse
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals struggling with addictions and substance use concerns that impact relationships, emotional well-being, and daily functioning. Drawing on extensive clinical experience treating substance abuse, impulse control, and co-occurring mental health concerns across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how addiction affects the brain, behavior, and nervous system.
I have worked closely with individuals experiencing addiction as well as their loved ones and families. I help clients understand their need to use and what drives urges, while also supporting families in understanding the nature of addiction and the complex process of rebuilding trust. Repairing relationships can be difficult and gradual, but through this work it is possible to find solid ground where accountability, understanding, and stability can begin to grow.
Addiction often develops as a way to regulate distress, numb emotional pain, or create a temporary sense of relief or control. Together, we explore the emotional and neurological patterns that sustain addictive cycles while building healthier ways to regulate stress and tolerate discomfort. My approach is compassionate, direct, and nonjudgmental, helping clients move toward greater stability, insight, and long-term change.

Substance Abuse
Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Addiction and substance abuse involve a pattern of compulsive use of substances—such as alcohol, prescription medications, or drugs—despite negative consequences in a person’s life. It can affect relationships, physical and emotional health, and overall functioning. I specialize in treating substance use disorders with an integrative, trauma-informed approach that looks beyond the symptoms to understand the underlying emotional pain, stressors, or patterns driving the behavior. Whether you're just beginning to explore recovery or have been on the path for a while, I provide a nonjudgmental space for healing, growth, and long-term change.

Nicholas Dillon, MS, MA
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LCDC, SAP, NCAC, Life & Recovery Coach
Addiction counseling consists of individual and or group sessions that can be done both virtually or in person. We utilize CBT Intervention tools along as part of our practice approach to counseling. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a type of talk therapy, or psychotherapy, that can help with many emotional and mental conditions or issues. In fact, CBT therapy is more than just one type of therapy; it is a group of different techniques that psychologists, therapists, and counselors use to modify thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
You may feel stuck in patterns with alcohol or substances that are starting to affect your mood, relationships, or day-to-day life. Part of you may want things to change, while another part feels unsure where to start or how to follow through.
Our work focuses on understanding what’s driving the behavior and building practical ways to respond differently. You’ll develop tools to manage urges, handle stress more effectively, and make decisions that align with what you actually want for yourself.
The goal is steady, realistic progress so you can regain a sense of control, improve your functioning, and move toward a more stable and consistent way of living.
