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.

Substance Abuse
New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We believe that addiction and substance use problems are an attempt to cope with the pain of living. More often than not, people who engage in substance abuse and who experience addiction have experienced loss or adversity and were not taught adaptive strategies to cope with it.
To find relief from this incredible pain, they leaned into a substance or behaviour and found that it worked better than anything else to provide temporary relief from their pain and suffering. When using they thought about what happened a little bit less, difficult emotions like sadness, guilt, anger and shame were dulled, physical pain subsided, and there was a sense of lightness.
The problem is that the high wears off, the physical and emotional pain returns, and the memories come flooding back. Eventually, you feel the relief less and less.
Other problems such as those listed below also occur:
- conflict and instability in relationships
- feeling isolated
- difficulty meeting obligations and work/school/family responsibilities
- financial strain
- hangover/emotional and physical stress
- intense urges for the substance or behaviour
- finding oneself in risky and dangerous situations
These difficulties cause more pain and lead to a vicious cycle of getting high, coming down, experiencing even more pain than initially, seeking the same relief which over time becomes shorter and less effective.
The good news is that it doesn't have to stay this way.
Our highly trained therapists offer evidence-based treatments for substance use and addiction.
Typically, substance abuse and addiction treatment at New Moon Psychotherapy will involve three components
1) Psychoeducation: Helping you understand substance abuse and addiction including why you are experiencing this problem and the function that this problem serves.
2) Coping Strategies: Teaching you various cognitive, behavioural, and somatic strategies to help you manage cravings, regulate your emotions, tolerate distress, and calm your nervous system.
3) Trauma and/or Grief Processing: This gets to the root of the addiction and allows you to heal the pain that has been keeping you stuck all this time. This is incredibly important because it is more likely to prevent the addiction from recurring.
Each of these components build upon one another and will allow you to heal and create meaningful, long-lasting change in your life.
Dr. Gabor Mate, an expert in the research and treatment of addiction, has said that addiction begins and ends with pain. The good news is that you can change the narrative and through therapy, change your ending.
At New Moon Psychotherapy, our team supports individuals experiencing various forms of substance abuse and addiction including alcohol, illicit and prescription drugs, and sex and pornography.

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.

Substance Abuse
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.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I work with addictions and substance use by exploring the emotional, relational, and unconscious factors that may underlie these patterns. Through a psychodynamic lens, we examine how substances may serve to manage pain, regulate emotion, or express inner conflict. Together, we work toward deeper self-understanding, healing, and more sustainable forms of relief and connection.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
As a therapist, I know how challenging it can be to manage addiction. Addiction can impact the quality of our lives, our relationships, and our connection to ourselves. Therapy can provide a safe space to navigate addiction and explore what you wish for in relation to the substance or behaviour. Discussing the addiction can also provide us useful clues as to what roots the addiction, allowing us to navigate the core issue at hand and explore preferred coping strategies. Connect with me today for a free consultation to begin your healing journey.
