Addiction and Recovery Support
With Stacey Morvitz, LCSW
I’m a therapist with years of experience helping adults navigate substance use and build a life that feels balanced, connected, and meaningful.
Whether you’re just starting to question your relationship with substances or you’re already in recovery, I provide support that meets you where you are—without judgment.
Do you want more control over your choices around substances?
Do cravings, habits, or old patterns sometimes get in the way of the life you want?
Are you looking for support to maintain your recovery or strengthen your coping skills?
Addiction isn’t about willpower. Healing is about understanding yourself and building tools that truly work for you.
Clients Come to Me When They’re
Struggling to feel in control of their substance use or habits
Navigating early recovery or making changes in their life
Looking to stay on track with ongoing recovery or healthier routines
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or pulled by cravings or urges
Hoping to build skills to live more in line with their values
Please note: I only work with adults 18+
Substance use patterns can develop for many reasons, including genetics, brain chemistry, and biology, which can make some people more vulnerable. Habits or coping strategies may form over time, and these patterns can continue even when circumstances or environments change.
Therapy helps you understand why these patterns formed and find healthier ways to meet your needs—without judgment or shame.
How I Approach Addiction and Recovery Therapy
Our work is guided by where you are right now, and what matters most to you. We explore your patterns, habits, and the situations that shape your choices around substances—without judgment or pressure.
Together, we build practical tools and strategies that fit your life, whether your goal is to reduce use, manage triggers, stay in recovery, or simply feel more in control. I also collaborate with other providers when it supports your goals.
Modalities I Use
-
Helps you understand the deeper experiences, emotions, and patterns that may influence your relationship with substances.
-
Supports you in living in alignment with your values, so your choices around substances fit the life you want—not just reacting to cravings or old habits.
-
Builds practical skills for managing difficult emotions, tolerating stress, and coping when urges or triggers feel overwhelming.
-
Helps identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns or beliefs that maintain substance use, creating space for healthier, more balanced choices.
We’ll strengthen your ability to handle emotions, explore new possibilities, and shape a life that reflects your values—not just old habits or automatic patterns.
Live on Your Terms
When your choices around substances feel clearer and less controlling, you can focus on what matters most to you—your values, your goals, and the life you want to build.
After Working With Me, Clients Report
More mental clarity and calm
Greater confidence in choices
Stronger relationships
Feeling more aligned with personal values
Better coping skills for stress and triggers
Freedom from habits or patterns that no longer serve them
Focus on what matters to you, not what pulls you off course.

I’ve seen how consistent support, insight, and practical strategies can help people feel more in control, more connected to themselves, and more aligned with their values.
My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in curiosity. I focus on meeting you where you are, without judgment or assumptions about what “should” happen.

Whether your goal is to reduce use, manage triggers, strengthen coping skills, or simply understand yourself better, our work is tailored to what feels most meaningful and helpful for you. Recovery and change look different for everyone, and my role is to support you in finding your path and building the life you want, at a pace that feels right.
