Substance Use Therapists in Portland, ME

I specialize in helping young men and women struggling with alcohol and substance use. I use evidence-based practices while creating a safe, non-judgmental space, for people to be seen. Almost everyone has some degree of ambivalence. I help explore and resolve the ambivalence concerning a person's present behavior and their desired behavior.

There is little doubt that a sit down with a seasoned counselor is the safest and most dignified approach to the fears and apprehension that come with an understanding that the door to a substance use problem is going to get opened. Top of the Hill was designed to be that place of this initiation. We care to continue to be known as Portland's best known outpatient facility for the delivery of quality treatment for Substance Use Disorders and Substance Use Evaluation services. We are also known to be highly qualified in the counseling of affected others seeking reasonable and dignified intervention strategies for specific problems.

Going through life feeling misunderstood, disconnected from others, uncomfortable in your skin, and that the world isn’t to be trusted can be a lonely and frightening endeavor.

I provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore the negative self-talk and inner critic that prevents you from being your authentic self, leading you to use substances to cope.

If you've made it this far and you're reading this, you must be a Warrior. Really. Having Substance Use Disorder (SUD), or loving someone who has SUD, is not for the weak at heart. I liken it's reach to a tornado, an EF5 tornado actually. But here's the thing; You and I working together - we are to SUD what FEMA is to a tornado. Together, we can pick up the wreckage, organize it, decide what parts you want to keep, which ones you want to fix, and where to start fresh. You are not alone. In fact, 1 in 3 American families are struggling with SUD in the home. 22 Million Americans are in long-term recovery. All of them needed help too.
