Addictions or Substance Abuse
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Addictions are behaviours in which we engage to enable us to cope with deep emotional pain, usually stemming from some form of trauma in our lives. Social and environmental factors can also play a role in developing addictions. Addictions include the use of alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, smoking, shopping, etc. as a way to provide temporary relief from the painful thoughts and negative feelings that arise within us. Over time addictions establish themselves as the go-to relief to cope with our emotions, but at the same time render us less functional. Our relationships, work, and homelife begin to suffer from the consequences of the addiction. Talking therapy can help to uncover and resolve the pain that lies beneath addiction and over time help us to reconnect with our inner selves and to discover and develop behavioural responses to replace the addictive behaviour.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Kim Silverthorn - Tacit Knowledge
Counsellor/Therapist, B.A., R.P.C., M.P.C.C., C.T.
Tacit works with clients who are struggling with the challenges of substance use/abuse issues. For some clients, Tacit will provide counselling supports as clients prepare for and followup after their involvement in a Substance Abuse Residential Treatment program. For other clients who do not wish to access a Treatment Program, Tacit will provide regular counselling supports to help address the underlying factors that have resulted in a substance use/abuse coping strategy that is no longer effective for that individual.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Kaylei Murray
Registered Psychotherapist, CRPO, ACTA
I support clients in understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns connected to substance use. Rather than focusing solely on behavior, our work explores what the substance may be helping to manage, creating space for more sustainable and intentional coping.

Struggling with addiction can feel overwhelming and isolating — but you don’t have to face it alone. At Feel Your Way Therapy, we offer compassionate, non-judgmental support for individuals navigating substance use challenges.
We understand that addiction is often rooted in deeper emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. Our approach focuses not just on managing symptoms, but on helping you explore the underlying patterns driving addictive behaviors.
Using evidence-based therapies and a trauma-informed lens, we work collaboratively to support your healing, rebuild your sense of self, and help you move toward lasting change — at your own pace and on your own terms.
Recovery is not about perfection — it’s about reclaiming your life, one step at a time. We’re here to walk with you on that journey.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
You've probably tried to quit many times, only to pick up your addiction again. We tend to develop addictions to ease the pain of trauma or neglect. Gabor Maté suggests that, if we want to treat the addiction, we have to treat the trauma. This allows us to get to the root of the problem, rather than simply trying to stop harmful behaviours through willpower. Bringing healing to our wounds can bring lasting recovery from the power of addiction.
