Substance use counseling

Change within your system

Substance use is rarely isolated. It's often a signal that something deeper needs attention: trauma, family patterns, unmet needs, or a system that isn't working.

Our approach

We work systemically with substance use. We believe the opposite of problematic use is connection. We help you understand what your use means, what it protects you from, and how to change the patterns that keep it going. We also work with your family, because change often takes hold when relationships shift.

We're here whether you're considering change, ready for it, or keeping it going.

How we work

We start with your full picture and where you stand in your readiness for change. Together we set personal goals, such as managing urges, processing trauma, and building coping skills, and relational goals for how you want to relate to family and community. If you need more support than outpatient counseling, we'll help you understand your options.

Working with your doctor

Medication can play a helpful role. We're glad to coordinate with your primary care physician or psychiatrist.
