A Different Kind of Help

You've built a successful career. You manage teams, close deals, and make high-stakes decisions every day. But your relationship with alcohol — or other substances — has become harder to manage. You've tried cutting back on your own. Sometimes it works for a while. Then it doesn't.

You don't see yourself as an "alcoholic." You don't want to go to AA meetings. You certainly don't want anyone at work to find out. And the idea of giving up drinking entirely feels drastic — or at least premature.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And you're exactly the kind of person we specialize in helping.

What We Treat

Alcohol Problems

The full spectrum of alcohol disorders ranging from problematic drinking to full-blown alcohol dependence and physical addiction.

High-Functioning Substance Users

Specialized expertise in treating executives and professionals who maintain careers while struggling with alcohol or other drugs.

Alcohol Moderation

Structured programs for those seeking to reduce drinking rather than quit entirely.

Abstinence Support

Evidence-based relapse prevention for those seeking to maintain abstinence over the long-term.

Binge Drinking

Help for those who may not drink daily but engage in problematic patterns when they do drink.

Dual Diagnosis

Integrated treatment for alcohol problems co-occurring with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.

Our Approach

Evidence Over Ideology

Treatment decisions are based decades of research and clinical experience, not on ideological assumptions and beliefs. What actually works matters more than what's traditional.

Goals You Define

We work together with you to determine whether moderation or abstinence is the right choice. Treatment supports your goals, not someone else's agenda.

Privacy First

Your confidentiality is paramount. As a private, self-pay practice, your records stay with us. No insurance databases, no public exposure. HIPAA-compliant practices ensure your treatment remains private and your reputation protected.

Modern Change-Focused Therapies

Including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and supportive medications when appropriate — such as GLP-1 agonists and other anti-craving medications.
