Why this page exists
Shame keeps the pattern alive. We look at what the substance or process is doing for you — boredom, sleep, a fight you cannot have — and what a week of recovery would actually include.
You do not have to call yourself an addict to tell the truth. Therapy for addictive behaviors in Plainfield is confidential, nonjudgmental, and honest about when you need a higher level of care.
Addiction thrives in isolation and shame — recovery grows in support and understanding. Therapy for addictive behaviors gives Plainfield clients a confidential, nonjudgmental place to start.
Mental health is health. In a city the size of Plainfield — home to roughly 35,000 people — countless neighbors quietly wrestle with the same things you do. Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse is how many of them are finally turning the corner.
Here is the local load, named without a brochure: West-side Indianapolis logistics (airport / interstate) and fast housing growth. The old in-office version meant I-70 or US-40 airport-corridor delay. Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse does not erase that — it gives Plainfield clients a licensed place to stop carrying it alone.
Whether you have been searching for addiction therapy, addictive behavior counseling, or substance abuse therapy in Plainfield, you are in the right place — it is all part of the addictive behaviors/substance abuse care we provide to Indiana residents.
That brings us to the part most people wonder about.
Real Experience, Real Results
Care should match your reality. That is why our Indiana clinicians prioritize fit, flexibility, and follow-through — the things that actually keep people in therapy long enough to see results.
Credentials matter here. Every clinician serving Plainfield is fully licensed in Indiana and trained in the approaches best suited to addictive behaviors/substance abuse — so you are getting genuine expertise, not guesswork.
Decades of research back what we do. Modalities like CBT, mindfulness-based approaches, and other evidence-based methods are not buzzwords for us — they are the backbone of how we help Plainfield clients get better.
There is a clear path forward from here.

When It Feels Like Too Much
Before anything changes, it helps to name what you are carrying. For many Plainfield clients, it sounds something like this:
Exhausted from hiding it?
The lies. The cover-ups. The fear of being found out. Living a double life is draining what little energy you have left.
The thing that helped you cope now controls you?
What started as relief has become a prison. You know it's a problem. Quitting sounds simple until you try. The shame spiral makes it worse.
And it is more accessible than most Plainfield clients expect.
Signs Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse Might Be a Fit
There is no threshold you have to cross to deserve support. If something has been weighing on you — quietly or loudly — that is reason enough to reach out for addictive behaviors/substance abuse.
Some people want tools, some want insight, and some just want to feel heard. Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse makes room for all of it, shaped around what you actually need from the work.
Maybe you typed addiction therapy into a search bar late one night, or maybe a friend mentioned addictive behavior counseling. However you arrived, addictive behaviors/substance abuse in Plainfield is a place to start.
That brings us to the part most people wonder about.
Getting Started With Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse in Plainfield
This work goes beneath the behavior to what drives it. Your clinician helps you identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the kind of support structure that makes lasting recovery possible.
Confidentiality is built in from the start. Sessions run on encrypted, HIPAA-compliant software, and what you share stays between you and your Indiana-licensed therapist, exactly as it should.
You stay in the driver seat the whole way. You decide the pace, you help shape the goals, and your therapist provides the structure, tools, and accountability to keep you moving forward.
Every session happens over secure, HIPAA-compliant video. You log in from wherever you feel safe — your living room, your parked car, a quiet corner of the house — and your therapist meets you there. No waiting rooms, no commute across Plainfield.
Results only matter if they last — which is why the next part matters.
What Happens in a Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse Session
Trigger mapping and urge skills you can use the same week.
Shame work so secrecy stops running the show.
Clear referral when medical withdrawal or residential care is the honest next step.
Methods are not a menu of buzzwords. For addictive behaviors/substance abuse, we pick tools that match the problem — cognitive work, skills you can use the same day, and a relationship honest enough to tell you when something is not working.
Licensure is the floor. You must be physically in Indiana during the session. We will not pretend a video call erases a state line.
Who this is for
Plainfield clients who cannot seem to stop a substance or a process, and who are done doing it alone.
Here is why that matters for you.
In-Office or Online: What Fits Your Life
Think about the Hendricks County commute, the parking, the time carved out of an already-full day. Online addictive behaviors/substance abuse gives all of that time back to you while delivering the same evidence-based care.
Some people worry that video sessions feel less personal. In practice, most Plainfield clients find the opposite — being in their own space helps them open up faster and feel more at ease.
Traditional therapy means traffic, parking, time off work, and a waiting room. Online addictive behaviors/substance abuse removes every one of those barriers while keeping the quality of care identical. For busy Plainfield clients, that difference is what makes therapy sustainable.
There is a clear path forward from here.

We've heard it all. Your past doesn't define your future here. We meet you where you are with compassion, not lectures.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
Common Questions About Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse
Do I have to call myself an addict to start?
No. Therapy for addictive behaviors is a confidential place to tell the truth about substances or processes you cannot seem to stop, without a slogan requirement. We look at triggers, what the behavior is doing for you, and what a week of recovery would actually include in Plainfield — people, places, boredom, shame. We are not a detox facility. If you need medical withdrawal support, we will help you find it. If you need outpatient therapy that does not humiliate you, that is this work.
Do you have a therapy office in Plainfield?
Our home office is real: 20715 North Pima Road, Suite 108, Scottsdale, Arizona 85255. We do not invent a storefront in every city on this site. Addictive Behaviors/Substance Abuse for Plainfield residents is licensed Indiana telehealth — you meet by secure video while you are physically in Indiana. That is a service-area practice, not a fake local clinic. If you need the address for records or a map pin, it is North Scottsdale. It is not a Plainfield waiting room we pretended to open so a page would rank. The clinician is named. The license is the state you sit in during the session.
Are your therapists actually licensed to treat people in Indiana?
Yes. Telehealth is licensed by the state where you are sitting during the session, not by the city on the URL. Dr. Lisa Lavella, PsyD, BC-TMH is licensed in Arizona and Illinois. Christina Liakopoulos, LCSW, BC-TMH is licensed in Arizona, Illinois, and Indiana. If you live in Plainfield, you simply need to be physically in Indiana when we meet. We do not “see” clients in states where we are not licensed, and we will not pretend a video call erases that rule. The free consult is also where we confirm fit, timing, and whether self-pay or an accepted plan makes sense for you.
Who would I actually work with for addictive behaviors/substance abuse?
Dr. Lisa Lavella, PsyD, BC-TMH (Arizona and Illinois) and Christina Liakopoulos, LCSW, BC-TMH (Arizona, Illinois, and Indiana). They are named clinicians with decades of practice — not a matching engine and not a new intern every month. The free consult is how you meet the person, ask about addictive behaviors/substance abuse, and decide if the fit is right. Credentials live on the about pages. We will not hide behind a brand voice when you deserve a human being. If the pairing is wrong, we would rather say so than keep a mismatched hour.
Is online addictive behaviors/substance abuse in Plainfield as real as sitting in an office?
For most of the concerns we treat, the research says yes — outcomes track the relationship and the method, not the waiting room. What changes in Plainfield is logistics. You skip the commute, the parking, and the “who saw me walk in” problem. Sessions run on encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video. You still get a named clinician, a plan you both can explain, and homework that lives in your actual week. If video is a poor fit (safety, technology, or preference), we will say so in the consult rather than force a format that does not serve you.
Do you take insurance for addictive behaviors/substance abuse in Indiana?
We are primarily a cash-pay practice and currently accept some insurance plans. Many clients in Plainfield choose self-pay for privacy (sessions do not automatically hit a medical record the way a fully billed insurance episode can) and for simplicity — no surprise denials mid-treatment. We will tell you, before you commit, whether your plan is one we can bill and what a self-pay session costs. We do not advertise “we take everything” because that would be untrue. Call or use the consult form and we will be specific about fee, frequency, and whether a superbill is available. If money is the only barrier, say so in the consult; we would rather have an honest conversation than a bait-and-switch about coverage.
What actually happens in the first addictive behaviors/substance abuse session?
The first session is an honest conversation, not an interrogation. We cover what brought you in, what you have already tried, how addictive behaviors/substance abuse has (or has not) helped before, and what “better” would look like in your life in Plainfield — sleep, work, relationships, the stuff you can feel. You will leave with a sense of the clinician, the pace, and whether the fit is right. There is no pressure to unload your whole history on day one. If it is not a fit, we would rather help you redirect than keep a mismatched pairing.
If I live in a smaller Plainfield community, is this actually private?
Your sessions are protected by law and by ethics, with the usual mandated-reporting exceptions (risk of harm, abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult). Telehealth adds a practical privacy layer a storefront office cannot: nobody in Plainfield watches you park at a clinic. You still need a closed door and headphones on your side. We use encrypted video. We will not discuss you in the grocery store, on a sideline, or in a Facebook group. If you share a house or a campus, we will help you plan a setting that is actually private — a parked car with a headset counts.
