Substance Abuse
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Problematic addictive behaviors rarely develop in isolation. Often they become a way of coping with painful emotions, difficult experiences, or patterns that once served a protective purpose. Together, we'll approach those struggles with curiosity rather than shame, while exploring what the addictive behavior has been helping you manage. Therapy can help you develop healthier, more flexible ways of responding to life's challenges so that you can gain the freedom to choose the life you want rather than the one addiction has created.

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.

Substance Abuse
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.

Substance Abuse
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.
