Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
Substance use is often a symptom of a bigger problem. It becomes a very quick and easy way to cope with stress. The flip side of this is that it is a bandaid solution, the problem is still waiting for you. Cannabis-just because it's legal does not mean that it is a good idea.

Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
I view addiction not just as a problem but an unhelpful solution to a different problem. Often, we turn to addiction to get away from something else. It is that “something else” that we would try to understand in our sessions. We will then work to find healthier ways of coping to replace the addiction. I also specialize in helping reduce cannabis use, which may not be addictive as a substance but has addictive effects. It is never too late to start this journey. Call today to book a free consultation.

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.

Addiction is often a way of coping with unresolved emotions, trauma, or deep-seated struggles. I provide a judgment-free and supportive space where clients can explore the underlying causes of their substance use and build healthier coping strategies. Using IFS, EMDR, and Mindfulness, I help individuals address cravings, emotional regulation, and behavioral patterns, guiding them toward sustainable recovery and self-empowerment.

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.

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.

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.
