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 However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem.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

Robert M. Lee
Registered Psychotherapist
I approach addiction and substance use not as a moral failing but as an attempt to regulate pain, trauma, or inner conflict. Using mindfulness, depth psychology, and somatic awareness, we explore the underlying patterns driving compulsive behaviors. Rather than focusing solely on abstinence, our work centers on understanding the emotional and psychological roots of addiction—helping you develop self-awareness, resilience, and healthier ways of relating to yourself. Whether you're navigating substance use, dependency, or seeking integration after psychedelic experiences, therapy provides a space for healing and transformation.

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
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.”

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.

Vaughan is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities and part of the Greater Toronto Area's northern expansion, with a large Italian-Canadian community alongside growing South Asian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern populations creating a diverse and evolving therapy demand. The city's relative newness as a major population center means its private therapy infrastructure is still developing, and many residents access care in Toronto or through telehealth. Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital — one of Canada's newest major hospitals — provides institutional resources, and the broader GTA ecosystem of therapists is accessible for those willing to travel or use online platforms. Vaughan's affluent suburban character means therapy is financially accessible for many, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
