Addiction & Recovery Therapy in California

About Addiction & Recovery Therapy

Addiction takes many forms — substance use, sexual compulsivity, pornography dependence, gambling, or workaholism. Recovery isn't just about stopping a behavior; it's about understanding what drives it, healing the underlying wounds, and building a life worth staying sober for. Alexander uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused approaches to support lasting recovery.
