Compassionate, evidence-based support for substance use and mental health challenges - together.

Living with substance use concerns alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating. You don’t have to navigate it alone. Our practice offers integrated therapy for addictions and concurrent disorders, supporting meaningful change at a pace that works for you.

Concurrent disorders refer to the presence of both substance use concerns and mental health challenges at the same time. These experiences often influence one another—stress, trauma, or mood difficulties can increase substance use, while substance use can worsen mental health symptoms.

Our approach recognizes this connection and addresses both areas together, rather than treating them separately.

What are concurrent disorders?
