Has your substance use taken over your life?
Maybe you find yourself drinking more than you mean to, more often than you care to admit. Or perhaps you’re use is making it harder at work or with your family? You might even find your loved ones are looking at you differently or you’re spending more and more time and money in order to get drunk or high. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed by all of it or worried that you’ll never get a handle on this.
Whatever it is you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to see how this is bleeding into every area of your life:
Needing more and more of your substance in order to feel ok
Not even getting high or drunk anymore unless you use a lot
Cravings or urges to drink or use are making it hard to do anything else
Neglecting your other responsibilities in order to drink or use
Difficulties not using, even for short periods of time
Continuing to use, even when it puts you in danger or exacerbates your health or mental health
Substance use therapy can help.
It may feel impossible right now, but you can get a handle on your use. You can feel free of this prison. You can use more responsibly. And we can help you to get there.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What are substance use therapy sessions like?
A: Substance use therapy will start with just talking about what’s been going on with you so that your therapist can get a solid understanding of what you’ve been struggling with. Then, together with your therapist, you’ll develop a plan that addresses the unique issues you’re dealing with and helps you meet your goals. Throughout the entire process, we are here to support you on your journey to a happier and more fulfilling life. We won’t push you past where you’re ready to go and will move at the speed that’s comfortable for you.
Q: How long do I need to be in therapy?
A: This all depends on your needs, your goals, and the amount of effort you’re willing and able to put in between sessions. We will always prioritize your wants and needs and address the biggest issues you’re facing first to help you get relief as fast as possible. Most clients start noticing major changes within 20-40 sessions and there are so many evidence-based interventions for substance use that we can help you get a handle on things pretty fast.
Q: How do I know if substance use therapy can work for me?
A: While we can’t guarantee results, if you’re motivated to change and willing to put in the work, we are confident we can get you to where you want to go.
Q: How do I get started?
A: If you’re ready to work with us, then fill out our new client inquiry below. This will help us to match you with the right-fit therapist (or refer you to another therapist if we’re not a good fit.) Afterwards, you will complete our online intake process where you will sign the necessary consents and fill out some assessments to begin giving us an idea of what you’re struggling with. Afterwards, you will schedule your first appointment right in our client portal, meet with one of our amazing therapists, and begin your journey to a more manageable life.
