The Problem
Substance Use Isn’t Just About the Substance
Substance use—whether it’s alcohol, prescription pills, marijuana, stimulants, or other drugs—is rarely just a “bad habit.” It’s often a way of coping with:
- Trauma or unresolved emotional pain
- Anxiety, depression, or burnout
- Relationship struggles or isolation
- High-functioning pressure and perfectionism
- Nervous system dysregulation or chronic stress
- And it creates its own cycle of shame, secrecy, and disconnection.
- Our therapy focuses on breaking that cycle by addressing both the behavior and what’s underneath it.
Who Our Substance Use Therapy Helps
We work with individuals who:
- Common signs of ADD include:
- Difficulty focusing or completing tasks
- Frequently losing items or forgetting obligations
- Poor time management or chronic lateness
- Avoiding tasks that require sustained attention
- Feeling mentally "foggy" or easily overwhelmed
- Trouble following conversations or instructions
- ADD often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem—especially when it goes unrecognized. But with the right therapeutic tools, people with ADD can thrive in work, school, and life.

Our licensed therapists offer evidence-based approaches to help you:
- Understand your relationship with substances
- Learn new coping skills that don’t rely on self-medicating
- Rebuild self-worth and internal motivation
- Navigate relapse, shame, or dual diagnoses with compassion
- Reconnect to your goals, values, and sense of control
