Services
The Addictions Institute is founded on the established research and treatment theories of Dr. Stephanie Brown, Director.
The Institute integrates family systems and developmental perspectives to understand childhood and adult difficulties related to addiction and recovery.
Addictions may be subtle and hidden, blatant or ravaging.
They may be masked by anxiety, depression, physical complaints, behavioral difficulties, child rearing problems or feelings of helplessness and isolation.
Active addiction has severe consequences for the individual and the family.

Professional supervision and consultation are available by individual appointment with most therapists.
Stephanie Brown leads two consultation groups that meet for two hours on Monday mornings once a month.
The focus of these groups is case consultation regarding individuals, couples or families who have a concern about any addiction, their own or someone else's.
We focus on issues of trauma, including adult children of alcoholics, with an emphasis on working within the developmental model of active addiction and recovery.
