It is often the most sensitive and intelligent people in our society who struggle with addiction. How else can we tolerate the injustices, the coldness, the uncertainty, and the losses that come with life and world we live in?
People hide away in their busy schedules, drown their thoughts in television, numb their emotions with food, sex, shopping and big purchases, or escape altogether through the use of drugs and alcohol.
Maybe we never saw people dealing with and “working through” their feelings of anger, frustration, overwhelm, grief, depression, anxiety, disappointment, and shame in a healthy way. Maybe we just haven’t yet found our own way.
No matter how subtle, the cost of substan....

Addiction is a treatable illness. All that is required is that you want to stop using the substance(s). Therapy can help you overcome your addiction. Not all people fit into the AA model, although all people could benefit from the support. Even without the 12 steps, I can help you think about your cravings and your triggers so we make a plan to help you stop using - and stay stopped.
Ben Goldstone, LMFT
People come to therapy looking for help with difficult issues. They feel stuck or experience pain, worry, anger, or sadness. My practice focuses on Men, Women and Couples who want to improve their relationships, build communication and create a deeper sense of connection, passion and balance.
I am supportive and challenging, warm with a sense of humor, and have found that psychotherapy can be life changing. I use a client-centered approach to address a wide range of issues including:
• Depression and Anxiety
• Building Skills for Better Relationships
• Parenting Teenagers and Exploring Healthy Teen Risk Taking
• Drug and Alcohol Addiction
• Compulsive Sexual Behavior in

Given the ego-mind (and its narcissism) is the root of all addictions, coming into presence and witnessing the mind opens space to be clean, sober and sane. At root all addictions share this: it has the person, while the person holds the illusion he or she has it; the addict cannot stop; and it takes more of the substance / activity to get the same kick over time (tolerance). Benefits from addiction counseling are: living your own life instead of handing it over to your mind and its past conditioning / survival decisions; ending the inner war, ambivalence and destructive acting out; being able to tolerate feelings without acting out; and learn relapse prevention tools to sustain sobriety.
Harry Lieberman, MFT
I view addiction as a loss of control Starting with inability to control how much you use to deteriating into loss of where and how you make use of thge addiction. I strongly support 12 step programs and alsao find therapy is iindicated. Addictions are powerfu cunning and baffling/....together we can MANAGE YOUR NEW WORLD OF CHOOSING YOUR LIFE.Frequently a spiritual assist has been known to help as well.
Larry Lease, JD, MA, LMFT
I welcome those who have had previous experience in a recovery program, and now wish to use counseling to strengthen sobriety and rebuild self confidence and self esteem. The goal: to work through the painful emotional experiences that led to addictive behavior, and to develop a solid foundation for the future.
I also welcome adult family members who are seeking help relating to a loved one who is currently engaged in the recovery process. The goal is to identify codependent emotional patterns and enabling behaviors, so that healthy interpersonal boundaries and deeper intimacy can be reestablished.
Neal Winblad, MFT
I work with a lot of people who are in recovery, who may or may not be in an addiction support program such as 12-step programs. All addictions are attempts to regulate the nervous system. Nervous systems get dysregulated as the after-effect of unresolved trauma. Being a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I use the tools of SE to help clients learn to regulate their nervous systems so the constant unconscious drive to use in order to get relief from anxiety and depression dissipates.

The disease of addiction has many causes: the social environment; the developmental years as a child, adolescent and teenager; and, biological forces that are inborn, genetic or part of a personality trait. We must know the past and present to change the future. We need to understand the patient from the patient’s point of view to help us develop a more person-specific and individualized treatment plan. The goal is a lifestyle free of mood altering substances. If you’re not ready for group therapy or an in-patient/out-patient rehabilitation program, please give ma a call or drop me a note now for a free 20 minute assessment. 1-510-495-4826 or tgondajr@earthlink.net
Mark Hirschfield
I have extensive experience working with Addictions. Particularly with Sex addiction, Love addiction, and internet addiction. My treatment methods have proved to be very effective and successful. I first work on ceasing the problematical behaviors. This usually is able to occur quite rapidly. We then work on dealing with the underlying problems. Please check out my website www.markhirschfield.com for more information.

Individual counseling can be a powerful adjunct to participation in a recovery program. I work only with adults recovering from alcohol or drug addiction who participate fully in a 12 step program. Adult children of alcoholics and individuals struggling with codependency issues benefit from a combination of individual counseling and group participation. Treatment includes identifying triggers to addictive behaviors, using fully the supportive community of A.A., N.A., CODA, or Al-Anon, and developing internal controls to maintain sobriety.
Lawrence Tunis, Ed.D, LMFT
Most of the clients I see in my job as Mental Health Clinician for Solano County have a diagnosis that includes substance abuse. I believe that substance abuse can be overcome through various behavioral and psychotherapeutic approaches and I readily apply these techiques to my treatment plan. I also rely on the assistance of outside groups such as Alcoholics Anonoymous and NA. Sexual addiction is an area of importance in our society and I can work with people who are preoccupied with self-destructive sexual behavior, too.
Dino Di Donato, MFT, MS, M.Ed Counseling
I work with individuals who have determined that they are suffering from addiction. I encourage my clients to be actively involved in support groups and/or out patient treatment in conjunction with their counseling with me. If the situation seems to be immovable I will recommend residential treatment. I take a mindfulness approach to recovery which seems to have the most effective results over a longer period of time for most people.

There are so many different approaches to treating substance abuse and addiction. Without shame or judgement I work with clients to help them uncover the underlying pain that often maintains addictive behaviors. I encourage clients to take back control of their lives by exploring and understanding their unique relationship with the addictive substance or behavior. Clients can learn to make different, healthier choices and will begin to feel that they really do deserve a better way of life. This increase in self worth and new found peace can guide clients as they heal from within and work to improve the relationships in their lives.
