Substance Abuse
Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
If you’re reading this, you may be thinking about making changes around your alcohol or substance use — or perhaps you’re worried about someone you care about. Reaching this point is meaningful. It takes honesty and courage to look at your relationship with substances and wonder if something needs to shift. Recognizing a potential problem is never easy, and acknowledging it is a very important first step.
You might notice that once you start using, it’s hard to stop. Maybe loved ones have expressed concern, or you’ve noticed consequences in your health, relationships, or day-to-day functioning. These experiences don’t mean you’ve failed — they simply signal that something in your coping system needs attention, and that you deserve support.
Recovery is deeply personal, and there is no single “right” way to do it. For some people, abstinence feels like the safest and healthiest path. For others, the goal might be reducing use, setting limits, or finding new ways to cope before turning to substances. What matters most is that the goals reflect what you want for your life. The fact that you’re seeking information, asking questions, and exploring your options shows a readiness for change — and that readiness matters.
There’s a common phrase in recovery: “Only I can do it, but I can’t do it alone.” Most people recognize their patterns long before they’re able to shift them, because triggers, habits, and stress responses are powerful. Trying to manage all of that without support can feel overwhelming. Connecting with a therapist or recovery professional can help you understand your patterns, face your triggers with more confidence, and build healthier ways of coping.
At Laird Counselling, our team brings extensive experience from both residential and community-based treatment settings. We understand the wide range of treatment options available — from outpatient counselling to detox services to group programs — and we can help you navigate what fits best for your goals and circumstances. We also understand that addiction doesn’t only affect the individual; it has a ripple effect, touching family, partners, and friends. If you’re supporting someone who is struggling, your well-being matters too. Having your own support can help you maintain boundaries, reduce burnout, and stay grounded as you care for your loved one.
Deciding to make a change, even a small one, can feel intimidating — but you don’t have to figure everything out alone. There are practical strategies, supportive tools, and local resources that can help you feel more confident and hopeful about the path ahead.
If you’d like to explore your options or simply talk things through, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. We can discuss your situation, answer your questions, and help you determine the next steps that feel right for you or someone you care about.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Contrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Substance use can sometimes become a way to cope with stress, trauma, anxiety, grief, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, it may begin to create shame, secrecy, relationship strain, or conflict with the life you want to live. I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with substances, understand your triggers, and build healthier, more intentional ways of coping.

Robert M. Lee
Registered Psychotherapist
I approach addiction and substance use not as a moral failing but as an attempt to regulate pain, trauma, or inner conflict. Using mindfulness, depth psychology, and somatic awareness, we explore the underlying patterns driving compulsive behaviors. Rather than focusing solely on abstinence, our work centers on understanding the emotional and psychological roots of addiction—helping you develop self-awareness, resilience, and healthier ways of relating to yourself. Whether you're navigating substance use, dependency, or seeking integration after psychedelic experiences, therapy provides a space for healing and transformation.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It can be hard to know where to begin when dealing with addiction because its roots can run deep into the fabric of our lives. When working with individuals who experience addictions, I first seek to understand and appreciate each person’s story and work to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where healing can begin. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have helped me to understand the healing power of compassion, acceptance and encouragement. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While substance use typically begins as recreational activity it can become habit forming and often develops addictive behaviors interfering with other areas of our lives, such as relationships, jobs, and finances. To increase awareness and insight into the reasons for using, I offer evidence-based treatment while providing you with options along the continuum of the Harm Reduction approach towards abstinence. We will explore any underlying emotional needs and relationships. By gaining insight to any ambivalent thoughts and feelings around changing patterns of substance misuse I will support you in the setting and achieving of personal goals.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
"Not all addictions are rooted in abuse or trauma, but I do believe they can all be traced to painful experience. A hurt is at the centre of all addictive behaviours". - Gabor Mate, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
Addiction or substance use is not an identity but a behaviour, a way for us to cope with our hurt and pain. There is often guilt and shame associated with addictive behaviours. My hope is that we can work together to access resources, understand the addictive/substance use behaviour and find ways to to help you manage the risks of substance use.

Novus Rehab
Registered Social Worker, RSW
No matter what stage you are at with addiction, we work with clients on harm reduction approaches, stages of change and goal setting, as well as exploring underlying factors that result in addiction behaviour. Often there are experiences of abuse and trauma behind using substances to cope. We work with you to identify the root cause of your addiction, and provide strategies to help you cope better. You may be in the contemplation stage (unsure if you want to stop using) or you may have been in recovery for some time and would like to explore more deeply the root causes or ongoing challenges you experience.

Cindy Jennings
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Addiction rarely affects just one person—it impacts the entire relationship. When your partner struggles with alcohol or substance use, you may find yourself trying to manage the chaos, protect the relationship, or prevent things from getting worse. Over time this can lead to exhaustion, resentment, confusion, and a sense that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change.
I specialize in supporting partners and spouses of people living with addiction. Together we explore how addiction is affecting your relationship and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Many partners feel responsible for fixing the problem or worry that setting limits will make things worse. Therapy can help you develop healthier ways of responding while also protecting your own well-being.
Using approaches such as the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model, I help partners learn practical strategies to communicate more effectively, support positive change, and reduce the cycle of conflict and crisis that addiction often creates.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Support can help you regain your footing, strengthen your voice, and find more constructive ways to navigate addiction within the relationship.
