You’re allowed to need support, too.
You're In The Right Place
Loving someone with an addiction changes your life too.
You may spend your days wondering if they're okay, replaying conversations, setting boundaries you never wanted to set, or questioning whether you're helping or enabling. Maybe you've become the person everyone relies on while quietly falling apart yourself. You don't have to justify why you're struggling. This is some of the loneliest, heaviest work there is, and it's exactly what we do.

How We Help
Support for you, not just the person using.
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, your own needs are the first thing to disappear. Therapy gives you a place that's entirely yours. Together we'll help you untangle guilt from responsibility, process the trauma and uncertainty you've lived through, build boundaries that protect your wellbeing, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that got lost in someone else's illness. Our therapists use trauma-informed, compassionate approaches that recognize addiction as a complex disease while honoring the very real toll it takes on the people who love them. Whether your loved one is actively using, in treatment, in recovery, or refusing help, you deserve support.
What We Offer
When you love someone in it, you need support too.
Who it’s for
You don't have to wait for things to get worse.
Whether you're just starting to notice a problem, living through years of addiction, navigating recovery after treatment, or grieving someone you've lost to substance use, you belong here. We work with partners, spouses, parents, adult children, siblings, grandparents, friends, and anyone whose life has been shaped by someone else's addiction.
Your Specialists
Healing starts with caring for the people carrying too much.
Our therapists understand addiction, trauma, family systems, and the complicated emotions that come with loving someone who struggles with substances. We won't tell you to "just leave," "be stronger," or blame you for what's happened. Instead, we'll help you find steadier ground, one where you can love someone without losing yourself.
Questions people ask
A few things you might be wondering.
Does the person with the addiction have to come to therapy too?
No. This space is for you. You don't need anyone else's participation to begin your own healing.
Can you help me know whether I'm enabling?
Yes. We'll help you understand the difference between support, protection, boundaries, and enabling, without judgment or shame.
What if my loved one refuses treatment?
Many people begin therapy while their loved one is still actively using. We can help you navigate uncertainty, make thoughtful decisions, and protect your own wellbeing regardless of what they choose.
Will you tell me whether I should stay or leave the relationship?
No. That decision isn't ours to make. We'll help you clarify your values, strengthen your boundaries, and make choices that feel right for your life.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, we're in-network with most major plans, and we handle the billing.
You don't have to do this alone.
