Addiction is often the legacy when one's childhood and adolescence has been unrewarding or tumultuous. It's true that addiction is also disease but it is also a dis-ease, with oneself and with others. Biological pre-dispositions are as true about addiction as they are about diabetes for example. So, if you have family members that are addictions you are at-risk. I have worked in addictions and have had life experience as the family member of addicts. I think the best course of treatment is to be involved both in 12-step programs and therapy. Understanding addiction is only the beginning to healing. In therapy we will work on helping the addict or family member re-gain control and well being.

Addiction is an external means to regulate internal psycho and physiological states of arousal. Psychotherapy along with neurofeedback training can help you become aware of those internal states of arousal, and control them. Using the same technology that professional athletes and NASA are using, you can learning to control your physiological states of arousal, even under significant stress.

Taji Huang, Ph.D.
My name is Dr. Taji Huang and I have dedicated the past 12 years of my career to the field of mental health in a very broad range of mental health settings. I have had the priviledge of working closely with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couples, family and group settings. One of the tools that I use is psychotherapy, which involves regular face-to-face meetings with the psychologist. Sessions typically last between 45-50 minutes, one or more times per week; depending on the case. In this confidential and safe setting, clients have the opportunity to explore personal issues with someone who has unique listening skills.

I have had considerable experience treating addiction, and I believe that those who rely on substances or alcohol for self-medication are treating old wounds and unresolved trauma. I use the motivational model to be sure the client is serious about quitting or at least moderating his/her behavior. Next, I employ psychodynamic therapy to uncover and unravel the causes of their distress. Finally, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help the client change their destructive behaviors. During this process, I encourage reading and attending 12-step meetings for group support.

We can all learn to be more aware. Greater awareness allows our consciousness to grow, and we become active participants in life. We become present-orientated human beings, placing the focus on how to make changes in the current moment.
Our work together will focus on meaningful and positive goals that enhance your sense of purpose. Relationships, the positive interactions between yourself and others will grow.Addictions serve as substitutions of energy from a depleting source. Therapy focuses on dealing with cravings and the lack felt beneath the addiction which leads to cravings and filling the lack with drugs and alohol. Therapy will address these lacks and help replace them.
Sue Passalacqua, M.S., MFT
I work in conjunction with 12-step programs to help individuals recover from addictions. I take a holistic approach to addictions counseling which means that I will begin by exploring, with my clients, their history and upbringing to reveal what role models may have influenced their addiction and the benefit or "payoff" of their addiction. From here we can begin to unravel the negative habits of dealing with life's stressors and replace the addiction with a healthier response to life's challenges.

Are you stuck in addictive behavior that is isolating you from the people you love? Are you numbing yourself with drugs or alcohol to calm your anxiety? There is a way out of the self destructive cycle, but you have to ask for help first. You can be free of substance abuse and find the courage to heal. Together we can find the light at the end of the tunnel!
Cindy Kludt, M.A., LMFT
I work with people (and their family members) who have an addiction issue, who are also in a 12-step recovery program. I support the recovery process and add additional support by teaching how habits, beliefs ,and self-esteem were conditioned and how you continue to re-condition the negative patterns. I then help you to learn how to repetitively re-condition your negative patterns into more useful and workable positive patterns through your conscious awareness and actions. This works hand in hand with the 12-step recovery programs and is a no blame and no shame approach.
Ron Jackson, MS
Addictions are often ways we deal with the unhappy experiences with life. They can start off small and sometimes we can walk away. But for many they have wrapped their addictive hands around our lives and we find ourself trapped. While we may get addiction on our own - we often need a group to set us free. The counselor can be a big help and guide in this struggle but the most important element is the Group. Either AA, SA or Celebrate Recovery or other support groups that are out there. I will only treat an addict if he or she is actively participating in a support group. This becomes a winning team for a life and death struggle for normalcy.

We are all addicted to something: drugs, alcohol, food, negative thinking, anger, shopping, etc. It all comes from the same place. We don't want to feel painful feelings. We want to numb out. But if you are an addict you know you are in pain already. Feelings those painful feeling frees you from the need to numb out. 12 Step programs don't work for everyone. I have helped many people overcome their addictions. I will help you find self acceptance and love so that you can overcome your addiction with compassion. It's a journey well worth taking.

Men who struggle with sexual addiction are from all walks of life. Over a period of time their behaviors lead them to feeling isolated and alienated from their families, spouses, friends and colleagues. When they are ready to break free there is help for the man who truly wants to begin the recovery process. My approach involves gaining insight into one's behaviors, identifying the triggers that set them off, getting them connected to healthy relationships, and developing a battle plan that is comprehensive enough to sustain ongoing recovery.
Trish Phillips, M.A., MFT
You didn't start off thinking, "I'm going to become an addict." Whether its drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping, etc., I'm positive your goal in the beginning wasn't to have your whole life consumed with your addiction. That's what addictions do, they take over your life. It is important as you start your journey of recovery that you are held accountable and have the support you need and deserve. As you start to feel the grips of the addiction lesson we will explore the deeper reasons you became addicted.
Craig Clark, Ph.D.
Dr. Clark offers serves for some of the most common addictions: alcohol, gambling, theft, and sexual addictions (including internet addiction, infedelity, seeking prostitutes, and other sexual compulsions such as public exhibitionism and voyeurism). Unfortunately, most people avoid seeking help until they run into trouble with the law and risk loosing their marriage and/or employment. Don't wait that long to ask for help.

I've worked in inpatient chemical dependency, researched the use of videotaped feedback in alcoholism treatment, & taught a university graduate course in Substance Disorders & Treatment. While active addiction is generally best treated inpatient, outpatient counseling can be an indispensable support both preparing for and after initial recovery, preferably in conjunction with a strong 12-step program, for relapse prevention and for learning a new concept of self and building the skills and tools needed for sober daily living, such as boredom-avoidance, assertiveness, and relationship building and maintenance.

The transition to young adulthood can be an intense time where teens may become overwhelmed by new feelings. Self-medication through drugs or alcohol is often an attempt by teens and young adults to regulate or avoid uncomfortable feelings.
Since individuals who are at high risk of becoming addicted often feel emotionally disconnected from the people in their life, my work focuses on helping teens create more meaningful connections with their family. I also work with young adults who have completed rehab and are interested in finishing the emotional growth process that got derailed while they were using drugs as a teenager.
Carl H. Shubs, Ph.D.
Are you abusing, addicted, or not sure? Are you concerned about substances (alcohol, pot, cocaine, meth), behaviors (sex, porn, computers, gambling, spending, cutting), or both? Together, we can see if these issues are really a problem for you.
If you’re having problems in these areas, we can sort it out and deal with it. Some people benefit from 12-step programs, and others don’t want them. I can work either way. Together, we’ll see what triggers you, how you deal with them, what works, what doesn’t, what situations affect your using and not using, and how this ties in with your earlier life. We’ll see what helps you to cope, where that works and doesn’t, and what other options might be.

I work with many individuals who have either identified themselves as having addiction problems or are still in denial that they have problems with addiction....either to substances or to certain destructive activities. Either way, I work with them so that they have a realistic understanding of the destructive consequences of their actions as well as an empathic awareness of the underlying self-destructive attitudes or beliefs (or life experiences) that may have led to their addictions. Addicts need support to deal with their addictions. There is no one way to get this support, but it is vital that addicts know that they they do need support...group support and psychotherapeutic support.

Need a therapist who specializes in addictions? One who knows about the mixed feelings of both wanting to continue in the addiction and also wanting to change? Sometimes the part of you who wants to stay addicted will be the most powerful, the most present, ...and that's okay. Other times you will so desparately want to climb out of the hole of addiction... and that's okay too. Thomas Schmierer, M.A., can help you observe what it is like to be in both places at the same time using a technique called a "cognitive interweave." This technique is one of the latest methods for resolving this conflict and moving you towards freedom from your addiction. Contact Thomas today!
Gary S Fisher, Psy.D., CDAC
For over 30 years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families suffering from all different addictions, both behavioral and chemical. Although I value and support involvement in 12 Step groups, in order to have a recovery based support system, I also work with individuals who do not wish to participate in those groups. My work with those suffering from addiction is to help address the dis-ease and disconnection that all addicts experience and to help them to connect to their authentic selves. When the realignment of self takes place, the individual is able to find their own truths to make healthier decisions and take positive actions out of that authentic place.

Whether alcohol, drugs, sex, or gambling, addictions can destroy one's life. And there is no quick fix. But recovery is possible with appropriate treatment. I have been working with addicts for several decades. I have learned that addictions are a complex of psychological, biological, and sociological issues. As such, a three pronged approach is necessary. Each of these areas must be addressed. Most addicts have not learned to manage stress and deal with emotional pain. Hence, they have found their addiction of choice to be soothing, at least for the moment. They are self-medicating through their addiction. Healing through psychotherapy and self-help programs is possible.
Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT
I do not work with severe drug and alcohol addiction. I work with clients who are able to function, yet finding it becoming more difficult and needing to stop their behavior before they hit bottom. We use cognitive behaviorial techniques to protect them from acting out and build up a support network. We also begin to explore soothing and coping techniques which are needed and missing.
