You are still showing up. You are still delivering. Your calendar is still color-coded. And when the door closes at the end of the day, the very quiet negotiation begins — about how much, about when, about whether tonight is different, about how you'll feel tomorrow, about whether "tomorrow" is when you finally stop. You can be a good partner, a good parent, a good clinician, a good lawyer, a good founder, and still be running on a habit that is slowly editing you. Nobody in your life needs to see it for it to be real. Your own body knows. What this looks like ## What this _looks like._ Two versions of the number — the one you tell people and the true one. Mornings you swear it's the last time. Evenings that argue back. Work as the acceptable addiction underneath the other addictions. A private life that has gotten smaller in a way you never quite announced. A body starting to add up the bill. ## How I work I'm Katelin Hanhart, LCSW, licensed in California (#92638) and New Jersey (#44SC05665400). I hold recovery goals plainly and without contempt — abstinence, moderation with structure, or harm reduction while you decide. I do not run a 12-step ideology and I don't shame it either. If 12-step is right for you, we integrate it. If it isn't, we build something else. Underneath most sticky addictive patterns is something that hurts. Grief, unrecognized trauma, a nervous system with no other exit. We work at that layer too, using parts work, somatic approaches, relapse-prevention skills, and EMDR when relevant. I am trained in EMDR. If a higher level of care is what you actually need — detox, IOP, medical management — I'll tell you clearly and help you find it. Honest geography No San Diego office. San Diego recovery clients meet with me by secure video anywhere in California. For a lot of professionals in this city, that privacy — no lobby, no drive, no visibility — is the reason therapy actually starts. ## Common questions My use isn't 'bad enough' — should I come? Probably yes. Most of the people I see for recovery work do not fit the movie version of an addict. They are functional, respected, well-paid, and quietly building a case against themselves that they can't outrun. If your use is costing you sleep, honesty, or self-respect, that qualifies. Telehealth or in person? For San Diego clients: telehealth. I don't have an in-person option in San Diego. That's a feature for a lot of professionals — no lobby, no risk of running into a colleague, no explaining why you're leaving the office at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday. Do you work with the family too? In the sense that partners and family are often part of the picture and part of the recovery, yes. Formal family therapy is not what I focus on — for that I can refer. But we will talk about your relational system, because trying to change your use without changing the ecosystem around it rarely holds.
