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.

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.

Carrie Gauthier

I work with men and women who are sick and tired of addictions running their lives. I use hypnosis, EMT , breathwork, regression, NLP, and more to rewire your brain along with motivational programming to help work on restoring the will to live. I teach coping techniques that can be peformed in under a few minutes to course-correct a vulnerable moment and empower you to make a differnent choice. I provide you with tools to elimninate cravings. Many in recovery wake up in a state of dread. This is the reason I teach you a breathwork technique that changes your chemical makeup from a state of dread to an elevated state like hope or inspiration. Ultimately, we work on resetting your nervous system and regulating your emotions and progam in a return to safety.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.
