Serving Santa Monica and greater Los Angeles. Online therapy offered to California residents.

Do you feel unable to control your behavior?

The drive to escape your experience typically begins with an intolerable emotional experience.

You might feel…

  • A deep distrust of yourself around alcohol or other substances.

  • Shame over your behavior when drunk or high.

  • Avoidance of taking responsibility for the addiction.

  • Angry and resentful with your inability to manage your substance use.

  • Little ability to say “no” when offered alcohol or drugs.

Give yourself the gift of support when addressing your substance abuse. If you can’t accept support, it will be hard to get the help you need.

  • Untangle your complicated history with substances

  • Live a life of freedom

  • Understand the impact of substance abuse

  • Reintroduce you to your deeper emotional experiences.

Admitting you have a substance abuse problem is the first step.

The next step is saying “yes” to the support of a professional.
