Courtnie Wittkopf
LPC, LCDC, FounderWhen addiction is part of a relationship, things can look functional on the outside but feel lonelier than they should. The same arguments repeat, trust feels strained, and even good moments are harder to hold onto. What feels like coping or relief to one partner can feel like distance or betrayal to the other.
You may find yourself in a cycle where one of you is holding everything together, exhausted and overextended, while the other feels stuck between intentions and actions, pulling away or leaning further into the addiction to avoid shame, conflict, or disappointment. Both of you are trying to find stability and connection, but the ways you cope often keep the cycle going.
I also work with individuals who recognize these same patterns internally, where pressure, expectations, or emotional discomfort lead to coping strategies that are difficult to change, even when they are no longer working or harmful.
How I Work
My approach is direct, relational, and grounded in attachment-based therapy. I focus on helping you identify what is happening beneath the surface while also providing practical strategies to shift patterns in real time. This includes rebuilding trust, navigating relapse and recovery within a relationship, improving communication, and developing healthier ways of coping without escalating into familiar cycles.
My background includes experience across residential, outpatient, and sober living settings, which allows me to support clients through a wide range of needs. I also bring a grounded understanding of this work shaped by my own family and relationships experiences with substance use.

David Wittkopf
LPC, LCDC, FounderYou tell yourself you’re done with it. And then you find yourself right back in it.
It might look like making the same choice you said you wouldn’t. Saying something you can’t take back. Pulling away when things start to matter. Numbing out, checking out, or blowing things up just when life starts to feel stable. You can see it happening, but once it starts, it feels out of your control.
This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a pattern of thinking and reacting that once served a purpose and is now showing up as self-sabotage. The harder you try to force your way out of it, the more stuck you feel.
How I Work
My approach is grounded in Adlerian therapy, with a focus on personal responsibility, insight, and meaningful change. We look directly at the beliefs, early experiences, and internal narratives that shape how you respond to stress, relationships, and yourself. This includes identifying what you may be protecting yourself from through avoidance, withdrawal, or self-sabotage, and developing a different way of engaging with those experiences. The goal is not just awareness, but the ability to respond differently in the moments that matter.
My background includes experience across residential, outpatient, and sober living settings, which allows me to support clients through a wide range of needs. I also bring lived experience in recovery, having completed long-term residential treatment in my mid-twenties and maintaining long-term sobriety. This allows me to approach this work with both clinical understanding and a realistic perspective on how difficult, and possible, change actually is.
