Substance Use & Recovery

:

Getting real about recovery — without the shame.

At Well Grounded Therapy, we know substance use isn’t just about the substance. It’s about what’s underneath — the stress, trauma, anxiety, expectations, and burnout that make escape feel easier than facing the pain head-on. Our therapists help you unpack those layers with honesty, empathy, and zero judgment.

We work with adults navigating alcohol use, cannabis dependence, prescription misuse, and other addictive patterns that have started to feel unmanageable. Whether you’re questioning your relationship with substances, trying to cut back, or in recovery and need extra support, we meet you where you are — not where anyone else says you “should” be.

As a culturally competent therapy practice in Chicago, we understand that substance use and recovery look different across communities. Our Black and multicultural therapists approach treatment with cultural awareness and compassion, helping you explore how identity, family dynamics, and societal pressures play into your healing process.

Through evidence-based therapy and holistic recovery support, we’ll help you strengthen coping skills, rebuild trust in yourself, and create a life that actually feels worth staying present for.

You don’t need to hit rock bottom to start recovery — just the courage to get real about what’s not working.
