Please be careful selecting a therapist. Respect your comfort level. In session, you will have to risk sharing your hurt, which could be painful. However, each time you express hurt, you are practicing self-care, realizing your worth, and revealing your power. I want the opportunity to assist you in recognizing, among other gifts, your resilience. Don't give up on therapy because of "a" therapist. Congratulate yourself for the effort, and keep going.

Most people don’t come to therapy because they’re broken. They come because they’re tired — tired of the same arguments, habits, or emotional loops that no longer fit their lives.
I work with individuals and couples who want to slow things down and understand what’s underneath these patterns. Therapy is a space to look more closely at what’s really happening — emotionally, relationally, and physically — so change doesn’t feel forced or shaming. I focus less on stopping behaviors and more on understanding the needs beneath them, with compassion rather than self-criticism. Humor and real conversations are welcome here.

We will focus on practical tools—rebuilding boundaries, strengthening emotional regulation, addressing substance use honestly, and restoring a stable sense of identity and direction.
Life can unravel in ways we didn’t plan for—addiction, burnout, grief, emotional abuse, gaslighting, or relationships that slowly erode your sense of self. When that happens, it’s not always about inspiration or big breakthroughs. It’s about steady work, clarity, and rebuilding trust in yourself.
My name is Warren Fritze., working as a therapist for over 25 years, working with people 16 and older. I help people sort through chemical use, recover from emotionally abusive dynamics, and untangle the confusion that comes with manipulation and gaslighting. I also work with those who feel stuck in life and disconnected from themselves.

Substance Use 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.
