Addiction Support

We honor the strength and resilience it takes to navigate the complexities of addiction and recovery. At Great Oaks Therapy Center, we are committed to creating a space that is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and grounded in respect for each individual’s journey. Our therapists recognize that healing from addiction often involves addressing not only behaviors but also the deeper emotional and relational wounds beneath them. We work collaboratively with clients to support recovery, self-understanding, and lasting change.

With personal insight and clinical empathy, he creates a nonjudgmental space for teens and young adults to explore substance use, build self-awareness, and find their own path to healing and growth.

Jacob

Jacob brings firsthand experience and understanding to supporting clients navigating addiction and substance dependence. Having spent over two years providing mental health and direct care to members of the homeless community in the Lawrence–Kansas City area, he developed a compassionate awareness of the systemic and personal barriers that often accompany recovery—and offers empathetic, strengths-based support on the journey toward flourishing.

Katrina brings a compassionate, holistic lens to supporting individuals experiencing substance use challenges, emphasizing healing through curiosity and client-centered care. She recognizes each person’s capacity for recovery and works collaboratively to build a support plan that aligns with their values, culture, and goals. Her approach creates a deeply “you‑centered” space—anchored in empathy, belonging, and mutual respect—to guide clients through change.
