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.

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.

Substance Abuse
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Substance use can become a way to cope with anxiety, stress, trauma, emotional pain, loneliness, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Over time, it may start creating shame, secrecy, relationship strain, or a sense of being stuck in patterns that no longer fit your values. In therapy, we can explore the role substances have been playing in your life and work toward greater awareness, emotional regulation, and more intentional choices. My approach is compassionate, non-shaming, and grounded in helping you move toward a life that feels more steady, meaningful, and aligned with what matters to you.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, overwhelmed, or driven to escape uncomfortable feelings? Many people struggling with substance use or compulsive behaviors learned early on to push emotions down or manage them through coping strategies that once made sense. You may have been taught that anger is unacceptable, sadness is weakness, or vulnerability isn’t safe—so substances or behaviors became a way to get through.
These emotions themselves aren’t the problem. They’re natural, meaningful signals. What matters is how we respond when they show up. Together, we can gently explore your experiences, understand the role addiction has played, and develop more intentional ways of coping—so you can feel more grounded, in control, and lighter over time. You feel things deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Through my work with individuals in recovery and involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous, I have supported clients navigating the challenges of rehabilitation and sobriety. Recovery is not simply about abstaining from substances—it is also about understanding and working through feelings of isolation and loneliness, relationships, developing resilience, and rebuilding a sense of faith in oneself. My goal is to help clients move toward empowerment, learning to cope not through substances, but through healthier pathways that support overall wellbeing.

Anthony De Lemos Kawka
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Addiction is more than a behavior — it’s often rooted in emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. I offer nonjudgmental support to help you understand the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and work toward lasting recovery and self-empowerment. Substance use can be both a symptom and a source of deeper distress. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the role substances play in their lives, offering support, accountability, and tools for change in a respectful, person-centered environment.

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.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of addiction or substance abuse on your own. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.
