Instead of focusing only on behavior change, we explore what the mind and body are trying to cope with beneath the surface.

LifeCycle Counselling

Addiction counselling sessions can explore the reasons why the addiction happened such as the behaviour and the motivations of the person. This then helps the individual to become more aware of their actions and understand themselves better. This is very important in the process of recovery.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
Addictions-Substance Abuse
Alcohol-Weed-Street Drugs-Pick your poison. Addictions are a defence mechanism or in simple terms a way of avoiding our feelings. As a trauma informed counsellor, there are very few clients whom I have come across that have not experienced some sort of addiction. Similarly, as I have done with so many of them, we can begin to safely talk about the feelings and matters which may have led you down this path or are keeping you stuck in pattern of behavior. Aside from working through these one of the key issues in dealing with addictions is finding more healthy ways of coping to replace or at least reduce these harmful behaviors. I would be honored to offer you my support and guidance in developing a plan, at your own pace, to become less dependent on whatever you are having difficulty letting go of.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
The constant use of some sort of “intervention” (be it drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.) to look outside of oneself or feel better when life gets out of control. The problem is that even though these “interventions” might work in the short-term they do not help in the long-term, and usually make life spin further out of control. Psychotherapy and rehabilitation are used to help a person wine off of the aforementioned “interventions.”

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 However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem.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.

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.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I have worked in the area of addiction for over 8 years and I am able to work with people to identify the chain of events that leads to engaging in addictive or compulsive behaviours. Sometimes exploring underlying issues such as trauma, anxiety, relationship issues or depression is part of the work with addiction and sometimes it is more helpful to explore behavioural changes and work with someone to mindfully change their habits. I do not believe in stigmatising or shaming addiction as I have had my own struggles with addiction and compulsive behaviours. The first step is understanding with a sense of compassion.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
