Substance Abuse
Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
If you’re reading this, you may be thinking about making changes around your alcohol or substance use — or perhaps you’re worried about someone you care about. Reaching this point is meaningful. It takes honesty and courage to look at your relationship with substances and wonder if something needs to shift. Recognizing a potential problem is never easy, and acknowledging it is a very important first step.
You might notice that once you start using, it’s hard to stop. Maybe loved ones have expressed concern, or you’ve noticed consequences in your health, relationships, or day-to-day functioning. These experiences don’t mean you’ve failed — they simply signal that something in your coping system needs attention, and that you deserve support.
Recovery is deeply personal, and there is no single “right” way to do it. For some people, abstinence feels like the safest and healthiest path. For others, the goal might be reducing use, setting limits, or finding new ways to cope before turning to substances. What matters most is that the goals reflect what you want for your life. The fact that you’re seeking information, asking questions, and exploring your options shows a readiness for change — and that readiness matters.
There’s a common phrase in recovery: “Only I can do it, but I can’t do it alone.” Most people recognize their patterns long before they’re able to shift them, because triggers, habits, and stress responses are powerful. Trying to manage all of that without support can feel overwhelming. Connecting with a therapist or recovery professional can help you understand your patterns, face your triggers with more confidence, and build healthier ways of coping.
At Laird Counselling, our team brings extensive experience from both residential and community-based treatment settings. We understand the wide range of treatment options available — from outpatient counselling to detox services to group programs — and we can help you navigate what fits best for your goals and circumstances. We also understand that addiction doesn’t only affect the individual; it has a ripple effect, touching family, partners, and friends. If you’re supporting someone who is struggling, your well-being matters too. Having your own support can help you maintain boundaries, reduce burnout, and stay grounded as you care for your loved one.
Deciding to make a change, even a small one, can feel intimidating — but you don’t have to figure everything out alone. There are practical strategies, supportive tools, and local resources that can help you feel more confident and hopeful about the path ahead.
If you’d like to explore your options or simply talk things through, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. We can discuss your situation, answer your questions, and help you determine the next steps that feel right for you or someone you care about.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We believe that addiction and substance use problems are an attempt to cope with the pain of living. More often than not, people who engage in substance abuse and who experience addiction have experienced loss or adversity and were not taught adaptive strategies to cope with it.
To find relief from this incredible pain, they leaned into a substance or behaviour and found that it worked better than anything else to provide temporary relief from their pain and suffering. When using they thought about what happened a little bit less, difficult emotions like sadness, guilt, anger and shame were dulled, physical pain subsided, and there was a sense of lightness.
The problem is that the high wears off, the physical and emotional pain returns, and the memories come flooding back. Eventually, you feel the relief less and less.
Other problems such as those listed below also occur:
- conflict and instability in relationships
- feeling isolated
- difficulty meeting obligations and work/school/family responsibilities
- financial strain
- hangover/emotional and physical stress
- intense urges for the substance or behaviour
- finding oneself in risky and dangerous situations
These difficulties cause more pain and lead to a vicious cycle of getting high, coming down, experiencing even more pain than initially, seeking the same relief which over time becomes shorter and less effective.
The good news is that it doesn't have to stay this way.
Our highly trained therapists offer evidence-based treatments for substance use and addiction.
Typically, substance abuse and addiction treatment at New Moon Psychotherapy will involve three components
1) Psychoeducation: Helping you understand substance abuse and addiction including why you are experiencing this problem and the function that this problem serves.
2) Coping Strategies: Teaching you various cognitive, behavioural, and somatic strategies to help you manage cravings, regulate your emotions, tolerate distress, and calm your nervous system.
3) Trauma and/or Grief Processing: This gets to the root of the addiction and allows you to heal the pain that has been keeping you stuck all this time. This is incredibly important because it is more likely to prevent the addiction from recurring.
Each of these components build upon one another and will allow you to heal and create meaningful, long-lasting change in your life.
Dr. Gabor Mate, an expert in the research and treatment of addiction, has said that addiction begins and ends with pain. The good news is that you can change the narrative and through therapy, change your ending.
At New Moon Psychotherapy, our team supports individuals experiencing various forms of substance abuse and addiction including alcohol, illicit and prescription drugs, and sex and pornography.

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.

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.

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.

Struggles with substance use often develop as a way of coping with stress, emotional pain, or unresolved experiences. In therapy we explore the patterns and underlying triggers that drive these behaviours while building healthier ways to manage emotions and regain control.
