Addiction & Substance Use
Addiction impacts people from all walks of life and in all corners of our world. Maybe you or a loved one are struggling with substance use, pornography, gambling, or other compulsive behavior. We’re here to help.
Addiction can become a way of coping with pain, stress, loneliness, or experiences that feel difficult to carry. Rather than approaching addiction with shame or judgment, we’ll get curious about what’s underneath it and what you may be trying to cope with or protect. Together, we’ll explore your relationship with yourself, your choices, and the parts of you that may feel stuck—creating space for new ways of coping and living.
At Morning Light, our Practice Director, Heather Hingston, is dually licensed as both a clinical marriage and family therapist and a masters addictions counselor. This combination of experience means we are uniquely positioned to serve individuals, families, and couples facing addiction. All Morning Light therapists have access to additional training and resources to support the families and loved ones in addictive systems. We provide services in our Merriam, Kansas office where clients join us from Shawnee, Lenexa, Overland Park or across the Kansas City region or online throughout Missouri and Kansas.
