Iryna Gavrysh
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with individuals who find themselves leaning on substances like alcohol and drugs or behaviors, such as sex or gambling, as a way of coping through the ups and downs of life. My clients often discover that this is no longer serving them and they want to find new and healthier ways of coping. This is possible and opens the door to greater connection with themselves and deeper and more satisfying relationships with their loved ones.

Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
The constant use of some sort of “intervention” (be it drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.) to look outside of oneself or feel better when life gets out of control. The problem is that even though these “interventions” might work in the short-term they do not help in the long-term, and usually make life spin further out of control. Psychotherapy and rehabilitation are used to help a person wine off of the aforementioned “interventions.”

A substance use disorder is more than a physical dependence on drugs or alcohol. Even after detox, when your body is no longer dependent, you’re at high risk for relapse. Certain psychological and social factors can be powerful triggers that lead to relapse:
Stress, especially sudden life stresses
Cues in the environment, like visiting a neighborhood
Social networks, like spending time with friends who continue to use
These things can create a strong ongoing urge to use again. Counseling helps you escape cravings and learn to manage what life throws at you without drugs or alcohol.
