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.

Milwaukee is one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States, and the mental health effects of systemic inequality, concentrated poverty, and community violence disproportionately affect its Black residents — driving demand for culturally affirming and trauma-informed therapists. The city has a strong Polish, German, and working-class heritage in many of its neighborhoods, and therapists frequently address intergenerational family dynamics, addiction, and depression tied to economic stress. Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin provide major institutional mental health resources alongside community-based providers. Milwaukee's proximity to Chicago means some residents also access care in the broader metro corridor.
