Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
When addiction takes hold, it’s easy to feel trapped in a cycle you don’t fully understand. You may know what you want to change, but still feel powerless to stop. This can leave you questioning your own worth. I am committed to helping you uncover the deeper causes of your struggles and regain control of your life. In therapy, you can work to identify the triggers that lead to substance use. The goal of therapy is to help you make clearer, more informed choices about your use of substances or alcohol and to live a life that is more manageable and congruent with your goals. Together, we’ll understand the root of your struggles, unpack the patterns that keep them going, work through shame without judgment, and build healthier ways to cope, make clearer choices, and regain control.

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.

Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Addiction is a way of coping with your pain. It is a medication that is self destructive. I will help you befriend and become conscious of the origins of your pain. You will learn how to listen to your feelings rather than run away from them. We will work together to give you different coping devices. I will help you see yourself in a way that you can have compassion for who you are and what happened to you rather than be unkind and cruel to yourself.

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.

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.

Oakville is one of the most affluent municipalities in Canada — a well-established Toronto suburb with a high median household income, well-funded schools, and a therapy culture that reflects the stresses of high-achieving, upper-middle-class suburban family life. The city's concentration of executives, professionals, and their families creates demand for therapists working with relationship complexity, parenting under pressure, and the psychological costs of maintaining prosperity and family cohesion. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Oakville's growing diversity — with expanding South Asian and East Asian communities in its newer residential subdivisions — is gradually broadening the range of cultural frameworks therapists need to engage with.
