Compassionate Support for Substance Use Recovery
At Restored Minds Therapy, substance use therapy offers a space to explore the deeper layers of your experience with substances, not just the behavior, but the emotions, patterns, and circumstances beneath it. Whether you're newly sober, navigating relapse, or trying to reduce harm, therapy provides a place to be supported without shame. I work with adults who are seeking to understand the role substances have played in their lives and want to move forward with clarity and self-compassion. Our sessions are grounded in empathy and collaboration, focused on building insight, emotional regulation, and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
