Drug Abuse Therapists in Ontario, CA
I have worked extensively with adults and adolescents specializing in struggles with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, poor anger management, and alcohol/ drug abuse.
A warm and engaging relationship is at the heart of healing. I specialize in working with teens and adults as they navigate through a time of crisis, feelings of being stuck in old patterns, or experiencing an ongoing pattern of strained relationships. If you are a parent, you may feel worried about your child's well-being and would like to renew your sense of hope for the future.

Taking the first step towards emotional healing can be difficult as life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes we need a little help along the way. Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, hopeless, or stuck? Are you experiencing relationship issues or not sure of which direction to go in your relationship? Are you feeling disconnected from your friends/ family or yourself? Do you need help trying to understand your thoughts and feelings? Coming to therapy can be difficult and scary, but taking the first step is the most important.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

I can be there for you - the person struggling to get out from under the cloud of stress, anxiety, depression, or feeling like you just aren't "good enough."

Drug Abuse Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
