Penelope (Penny) Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Addiction is a beast; one I have fought for most of my life, and beating it (and continuing to beat it every day) is one of the hardest things I've ever done. I'm also living proof that it can be done.
I'm different in that I'm not here to enforce any programs on you and will never judge you. I will work with who you are as a person to determine how best you can recover, on your terms.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
Struggling with addiction often means battling shame, isolation, and the overwhelming feeling that you're trapped in patterns you can't break. I understands that addiction is rarely just about substances or behaviors—it's often rooted in deeper emotional pain, trauma, or limiting beliefs that developed as survival mechanisms.
Using evidence-based approaches like CBT to address thought patterns that fuel addictive behaviors, DBT skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and EMDR to process underlying trauma, I help clients understand the "why" behind their addiction while building practical tools for lasting recovery.
I create a completely non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationship with addiction without fear of criticism. Whether you're seeking recovery from substance use, behavioral addictions, or supporting a loved one through their journey, I will work with you to develop healthy coping strategies, rebuild self-worth, and create a life where recovery feels sustainable and fulfilling.
Recovery is possible, and you don't have to face it alone. Together, we will work toward breaking free from the cycle and reclaiming the life you deserve.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

Russ Webb - Insight Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, MPCC
Having taught in the Addictions Counselling program at Medicine Hat College for 14 years, I understand addiction as a neurophysiological brain disorder that the person did not choose in their life. My approach is to address the addiction from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective giving compassion and helping the client understand how addiction functions in their life and how they can move to recovery and continue a new life in recovery. Many new issues arise in recovery which the client will also need support with as they change the very nature of their identity.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, addiction is understood to be a manifestation of unresolved trauma for which the addiction is a coping method. I work to help clients better understand both their addiction and their trauma, and how to resolve both by learning more healthy and helpful ways of coping and by doing trauma processing. As Gabor Mate says "do not ask why the addiction, ask why the pain".
