Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Addiction can be a scary thing that is often surrounded by ambiguity and confusion: why do I continue to use when I know it is bad for me? Why do I want to use in the first place? Why can't I seem to stop using and why can't I change? In working with clients, step 1 of our work is figuring out the answers to these questions and figuring out why addiction occurs in the first place. After this, we explore tools, resources, and therapies that will best work for clients in helping them create the changes they need and to promote the lifestyle they want.

Substance Abuse
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.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, addiction is understood to be a manifestation of unresolved trauma for which the addiction is a coping method. I work to help clients better understand both their addiction and their trauma, and how to resolve both by learning more healthy and helpful ways of coping and by doing trauma processing. As Gabor Mate says "do not ask why the addiction, ask why the pain".

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, overwhelming, and wrapped up in shame, especially when you're trying to keep it all together on the outside. Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances, in recovery, or somewhere in between, we're here to support you without judgment.
We understand that substance use is often a coping strategy for deeper pain, stress, trauma, or emotional disconnection. In therapy, we’ll explore the "why" behind the patterns, build healthier ways to cope, and help you reconnect with yourself and the life you want to live.
You're not alone in this, and change is possible at your own pace, on your own terms.

Substance Abuse
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Having an addiction is not a sign of weakness or lack of character. In fact, reaching out for help and being open to change takes a great deal of strength. My approach is one of openness and non-judgment. I follow a harm reduction approach meaning that I respect my clients right to set their own goals which will then guide our sessions. I appreciate that not everyone is ready to, nor wants to, work towards full sobriety. Harm reduction is about reducing the negative impact that substance use has on that person’s well-being and life. I strongly believe that any positive change is a success. If you think that my approach would work for you, please book a free consultation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mississauga is one of Canada's largest cities and a major commercial hub anchored by multinational corporate headquarters along its City Centre corridor, creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and the pressures of corporate culture. The city is exceptionally diverse — with large South Asian, Caribbean, and East Asian populations among the most multicultural in Canada — and multilingual therapists offering culturally grounded care are especially well represented. Trillium Health Partners Credit Valley Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private practice community serving Cooksville, Port Credit, and Erin Mills. Many Mississauga residents also access therapy in Toronto or through telehealth, given the city's proximity to the Greater Toronto Area's broader therapy ecosystem.
