GRIS ALVES
Counsellor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.

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.

Substance Abuse
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.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
It takes a lot of courage to admit you have an addiction. It takes courage to admit when you feel you are no longer in control of your desires.
I want to tell you that you are not alone. Whether it is the better-known addictions like alcohol, nicotine, and substances like opiates/cocaine/amphetamines, or something behavioral like gambling, overeating, or internet use, there is nothing wrong with you and you aren’t the only person experiencing this. The alcohol industry spends millions of dollars each year finding the best way to get you to drink. Casinos spend millions getting you to gamble. The tech giants of social media/gaming/pornography spend millions to maximize your time on their websites. They want you to experience this alone, because addiction thrives when it hides in the shadows. I offer a safe, secure space to examine it in the light.
Together we will examine your relationship to your addiction. I do not practice from an “abstinence-only” model, but instead focus on what YOU want. What does the problem substance or behavior mean to you? What purpose does it serve in your life? What, if anything, would you want to replace it?
What is important is that you feel like you are in control of your own life, and not being led by forces that have spent millions researching how to take this control away from you. Don't fight this battle alone.

Bipolar Disorder Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Greg Rennie has over 10 years experience working as an addiction specialist in top addiction treatment centres in Ontario, Canada. He utilizes the same approaches as "rehabs" do but in an outpatient, one to one environment. He has helped many clients overcome why they go back again and again to their substance or behaviour of choice and can't seem to stay clean and sober. As someone who is in recovery himself (30 years) he also has been challenged with the why of addiction as his clients have used an external means to escape from their core issues. He is trained in Ketamine- Assisted Therapy and affiliated with Ketamind Health in Markham, Ontario. Contact him at greg@bipolar-addiction.com

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Addictions/substance abuse is often an unconscious coping strategy to deal with trauma, emotional/physical pain and anything that overwhelms the central nervous system/brain. Once the central nervous system/brain are taken out of fight-flight-freeze-collapse (survival mode), balance can occur.

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.
