We understand that addiction is often rooted in deeper emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. Our approach focuses not just on managing symptoms, but on helping you explore the underlying patterns driving addictive behaviors.
Using evidence-based therapies and a trauma-informed lens, we work collaboratively to support your healing, rebuild your sense of self, and help you move toward lasting change — at your own pace and on your own terms.
Recovery is not about perfection — it’s about reclaiming your life, one step at a time. We’re here to walk with you on that journey.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Addiction such as substance use and alcohol addiction can leave an individual feeling alone and powerless falling into the addictive behaviour patterns more and more. This can lead to the deterioration of an individual’s health and well being by disrupting relationships, daily living routines, and financial stability while compromising quality of life. Therapy for addiction helps the individual understand the motives behind their behaviour and develop a treatment plan. I can help to break these dysfunctional behavior patterns by providing a safe space and emotional support to explore the addiction. Often individuals who have substance use issues may have comorbid depression or anxiety and may find it difficult to cope with stress, grief, relational discourse, and life transitions. I can support you in breaking dysfunctional patterns in dealing with overwhelming emotions and learn healthy coping strategies to build self-efficacy, improve distress tolerance, and change negative thinking to create a positive belief system.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Substance use rarely exists on its own. It usually makes a lot of sense when you understand what it's been doing for someone. I work from a harm reduction framework, without judgment about where you are or what you're ready to change. Whether you're looking to cut back, stop, or just figure out your relationship with substances, we start from where you actually are.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Addiction is never just about the substance—it’s about pain, protection, and survival.
Whether you're navigating recovery, in active addiction, or somewhere in between, I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore the deeper roots beneath the behavior. With a background in front-line work in addiction and trauma treatment centers, I understand how complex and layered this journey can be. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you build compassionate relationships with the parts of you that turn to substances for relief, connection, or escape. Together, we’ll work to heal the wounds underneath and reconnect you with the strength, clarity, and Self-energy already within you.

Substance Abuse
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Something took hold, and now it feels like it's running the show. Whether it's alcohol, substances, or a compulsion you can't quite name, the shame and exhaustion of fighting yourself is often harder than the thing itself. Having been in a similar place myself, I resonate with that. I work with people navigating addiction and recovery not by focusing on what's wrong with them, but by understanding what their behaviour has been trying to do for them, and building something more sustainable in its place.

Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
All of us engage in addictive behaviours at different points in our lives; they often begin as functional strategies to help us cope. It is when these behaviours start to take hold—demanding our energy, attention, and emotional bandwidth—that they shift into patterns that no longer serve us. Behaviours such as substance use, disordered eating, overworking, or digital escape can temporarily numb feelings like shame, guilt, or emptiness. In our work together, we focus on identifying patterns that keep you stuck, strengthening emotional regulation, and building sustainable behavioural changes that align with your goals and values.

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".

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I have worked extensively in Substance abuse, both in organisations and in my private practice. Substance abuse and addiction is rooted in deep shame and I have seen how an approach combined with psychological tools that support managing urges and tolerating difficult feelings with processing that supports shame reduction and self forgiveness/acceptance to be very valuable.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Addiction is NOT a choice. Substance use is usually bourne out of traumatic experiences and is a coping mechanism to escape from them. As it's not a good coping mechanism, this "escape" often becomes an additional problem to deal with. To work with an addiction, the best way is to target the issues that created the addiction itself, meanwhile learning practical and realistic tools to manage the addiction and emotions. You don't have to live on a rollercoaster of shame, guilt, and regret. Change is never easy but that doesn't mean it's impossible; everything worth anything takes effort and commitment in order to achieve success. When you're finally sick and tired of the burdens and having the substances control you, let's start working to take your life back.
