Addictions or Substance Abuse
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have written a book Overcoming Your Addictions which shows you how to apply the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and CBT to your self-defeating addictions. To overcome an addiction you first need to learn to accept yourself unconditionally with your addiction. Your self-defeating addictive behavior does not diminish your worth as a person. Putting yourself down will not help you overcome your addiction. Secondly, you need to learn to build your discomfort tolerance for urges, develop a healthy network of friends who will not lead you back to your addiction, and a vitally absorbing interest in life that makes your life meaningful.

Addiction therapy, also known as addiction counseling or substance abuse therapy, is a specialized form of counseling that focuses on assisting individuals in overcoming and managing their addiction to hazardous substances or behaviors. Addiction is a complex and chronic disorder that affects both the brain and behavior, resulting in compulsive substance use or addictive behaviors despite adverse consequences.
Addiction therapy is an essential component of addiction treatment and recovery and is frequently employed in conjunction with other methods, such as medical interventions, support groups, and lifestyle modifications.

Ms. Corinna Brown
Counselor/Therapist, PhD-abd, BC-DMT, LCAT, Certificate in Neo-Reichian Therapy
Corinna has been working with people suffering from addiction and substance abuse for over 20 years. She believes addiction is a biopsychosocial disease with a known course and several treatment trajectories. Corinna believes addiction is not a morale issue but acknowledges that addiction induces much shame that people need to recover from due to the damage addiction has caused in their lives physically, socially, and emotionally. She is familiar with medically assisted treatments. She offers compassionate substance abuse counselling combined with creative arts therapy and body psychotherapy to help people move through stages of change to reach their respective treatment goals whether this is harm reduction or total abstinence or anything in between.
