Aloha! My name is Dawn Martin, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor here in Hawai'i. I work mostly with those needing support around trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and life stage transition. I would define my therapy approach to be a client centered holistic approach, incorporating psychedelic-assisted healing and integration as a tool towards transformation. I work mostly with adults, both individually and as couples, who are interested in self-discovery, shifting thought patterns, and/or searching for different ways to heal.

Lindsay A. Roth, LCSW. I take an eclectic approach that includes evidenced-based practices and intuitive modalities, such as astrology and dreamwork, that will be tailored to actualize your unique goals. Social workers are different from other therapists because we are trained to consider the client within their environment. I do not diagnose or medicate. I work to amplify the sovereign wisdom of each individual; while honoring and addressing the ways they may be debilitated by environmental factors such as trauma, oppression, and systemic violence.

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.
