Michaele Dunlap PsyD (she/her)

I have worked with women and men in their process of growth and recovery since 1985. My approach includes attention to the developmental, biological, social and emotional elements of alcohol and drug abuse and dependence to the many changes necessary to grow away from self-harming behaviors.

Kelly Arthur, LMFT, LPC, CADC I

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

As a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC I), I have training and experience working with addiction/recovery from a holistic, relational perspective. Addiction is often a problem of connection, so I support people struggling with addiction/recovery by taking into account the history and relationships that impact choices, and by working to uncover the shame that often maintains the cycle.

Mark Pechovnik

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Weekly therapy can be a great addition to personal recovery work. I have great respect for and advocate for 12-Step programs. Outside of community support, individual therapy is a boon to working through the inevitable mental health issues that helped cause and were created by addictive behaviors.

I offer recovery-oriented psychotherapy and medication management for alcohol-related concerns. I typically prescribe naltrexone and non-habit forming medications to help with insomnia, anxiety, and depression (such as propranolol, hydroxyzine, and antidepressants). I am not a good fit for clients who need benzodiazepines, have required medical detox for seizures or other withdrawal-related concerns in the past year, or who have been discharged from a residential program in the past 3 months.

Rhys Pasimio (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

C3730

My training was in both alcohol and drug addiction. I've provided addictions counseling individually and in group settings in outpatient and inpatient facilities. I believe a dual-diagnosis approach is the most effective, because I recognize that most addicted people also have mental health challenges, and many many people with mental health challenges also use some chemical or behavior to cope.

Topher Welsch

As a therapist in recovery, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to address alcohol dependence by helping clients identify their strengths, resources, and past successes to create a vision for a sober future. I focus on what’s working, setting small, achievable goals to build momentum, and empowering clients to develop their own strategies for recovery, all while drawing on my own experience to offer understanding and support.

Kimberly Crow (she/her/hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC-III

Drinking often begins as a coping strategy, yet it can derail use of all other ways of managing life stress, mental health issues or low self-worth. Therapy can create space to explore the role alcohol has taken in your life, and help you decide what you want to do about it.

Jennifer Stratton (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Humans have evolved to avoid pain, approach reward-- implicitly and below the level of consciousness. I have several years of experience in treating individuals and families afflicted with addiction and helping them understand this complicated arena, reduce shame and stigma and regain access to empowered choice. The power of human connection, belonging and purpose are vital in treating patterns of substance abuse and often overlooked. Recovery is about more than abstinence alone!

Christine Finucane (She/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, SUDP, LICSW, SEP

I have been working in the field of substance use related disorders or addictions for over 30 years. All addictions have some characteristics in common. Addiction is a neuropathway in the brain that impacts thinking and behavior. Control is another component of addiction. We all want to be in control and not being in control is very challenging. Addiction can also be a coping strategy for dealing with unresolved trauma. Developing trust and self-compassion is an important part of healing.

Melissa Owens LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC

I have extensive training in the treatment of substance abuse as well as addictive and compulsive behaviors (shopping, sexual addiction and porn use). I use a harm-reduction approach including the Sinclair Method for alcohol abuse.
