What You Notice
Describe how substance use and mental health show up in daily life. A recent example can help explain the connection. You do not have to decide which concern came first.

Arrange a Free ConsultationBring the Whole Picture
Substance use and mental health concerns can be part of the same conversation. You might notice worry alongside substance use, or find that a change in your mood affects the way you get through a day. CTACC’s mission includes substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns.
We listen to the connections you notice and what you want support to address. You can describe both concerns in your own words. Your experience, not a label, is our starting point.
Our Therapy Team
Providers to Get to Know
Different Roles in One Practice
Counselors, therapists, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and coaches work within CTACC. Each role has a different focus. Counseling and therapy can address substance use and mental health, psychiatric medication management offers psychiatric care, and recovery coaching focuses on recovery and wellness goals.
Having these roles in one practice gives you options to discuss. We do not assume you need every service. We consider the concerns you bring and the type of conversation that fits them.
What You Can Bring to the Conversation
What You Want to Address
Name the part of life you want care to focus on. Include your goals and the support already around you. We use those details to discuss the work.
What You Want to Understand
Ask how the different roles within CTACC relate to your concerns. You can compare counseling, therapy and coaching. Bring psychiatric care questions to a qualified provider.
