Substance Use & Behaviors Pathway

Service Description

Offers compassionate, nonjudgmental care for adults navigating substance use, compulsive behaviors, or patterns that feel hard to control. Your goals may focus on harm reduction, abstinence, or clarity. I meet you where you are with whole-person, systems-based support. Care includes support for both substance-related concerns (e.g., alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, stimulants, opioids) and behavioral patterns (e.g., gambling, binge eating, online overuse, shopping). Our work may include harm-reduction or abstinence-based tools, medication-assisted treatment (e.g., buprenorphine, naltrexone), integrative strategies, nervous system regulation, lifestyle interventions, and referrals for additional support. Care is grounded in evidence, neuroscience, and collaboration. Addictive and compulsive patterns are often adaptive responses shaped by stress, trauma, unmet needs, and neurobiological dysregulation. Healing looks different for everyone. Here, we untangle those patterns with compassion, curiosity, and clinically grounded support. We'll begin with a 60-minute intake to explore your story in a safe space. We’ll review your health history, current challenges, past efforts, and personal goals. After any needed labs or diagnostics, we'll meet for a 45-minute session to co-create a personal care plan. Follow-ups can continue as needed to adapt and refine your plan over time. Note: some conditions may require referral to a psychiatrist, addiction specialist, or higher level of care, especially when safety, medical stabilization, or structured treatment is needed. We’ll help identify when that's needed and support you in coordinating next steps.
