Substance Abuse
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
You've probably tried to quit many times, only to pick up your addiction again. We tend to develop addictions to ease the pain of trauma or neglect. Gabor Maté suggests that, if we want to treat the addiction, we have to treat the trauma. This allows us to get to the root of the problem, rather than simply trying to stop harmful behaviours through willpower. Bringing healing to our wounds can bring lasting recovery from the power of addiction.

Zlata Kovaltchouk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RPC, RP
Gain a deeper understanding of your addiction patterns and the function these behaviours serve when it comes to emotional management.

Address other issues commonly associated with addiction, such as anxiety and social anxiety, stress, low self esteem, ineffective communication, trauma, and poor coping skills. Focus is placed on beginning to build a richer and more meaningful life and to develop a better relationship with the self, rather than focusing on sobriety and abstinence primarily. Get better at creating the kind of life where substances no longer play an important role.

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.

The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
I support individuals navigating challenges with substance use from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed perspective. Rather than viewing addiction as a personal failure, I understand it as a coping response—often rooted in stress, emotional pain, or past experiences. My goal is to help you explore the underlying patterns and needs that substance use may be meeting, while gently building healthier, more sustainable ways of coping.
Using a blend of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, we work together to increase awareness of triggers, reduce cravings, and strengthen your ability to respond differently in moments of stress. I also support clients in rebuilding their relationship with themselves—fostering self-compassion, emotional resilience, and a sense of control.
Whether you are looking to reduce use, maintain recovery, or better understand your relationship with substances, this space is designed to meet you where you are. Change doesn’t happen through shame—it happens through awareness, support, and intentional steps forward.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, 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".

Kirsty Matthews
Counsellor/Therapist, MA CCC
Your addiction is protecting you from something. Often it helps to explore the question: what are you not wanting to feel ? Together we can unpack what the root cause of your addiction is, and find ways to help you confront these challenges head on. You are not alone, and you do not need to go through this recovery journey on your own.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Addiction is driven by the psyche which is trying to salve a troublesome problem that we may not even be aware of and is trying to help us to survive. Addiction hijacks our self and we need to get back in control of our own lives and destinies. An addiction is often more compelling than anything else including family, earning a living and can wreck our life.. Some substances also cause a physical addiction that can be managed and reduced with medical help. Once we determine and understand why this addiction exists, we can start to process it and loosen its grip on us.

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.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Addictions are behaviours in which we engage to enable us to cope with deep emotional pain, usually stemming from some form of trauma in our lives. Social and environmental factors can also play a role in developing addictions. Addictions include the use of alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, smoking, shopping, etc. as a way to provide temporary relief from the painful thoughts and negative feelings that arise within us. Over time addictions establish themselves as the go-to relief to cope with our emotions, but at the same time render us less functional. Our relationships, work, and homelife begin to suffer from the consequences of the addiction. Talking therapy can help to uncover and resolve the pain that lies beneath addiction and over time help us to reconnect with our inner selves and to discover and develop behavioural responses to replace the addictive behaviour.

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.

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 Psychedelic- Assisted Therapy and affiliated with Ketamind Health in Markham, Ontario. Contact him at greg@bipolar-addiction.com

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.
