Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with addictions or substance abuse, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, 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".

Substance Abuse
Jim Mason
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, ICADC, CCAC
Overcoming addiction is a challenging journey that requires support, understanding, and effective strategies. As a Canadian Certified Addiction Counsellor, I offer specialized therapy to help individuals address substance abuse. I emphasize a compassionate approach through various cognitive therapies, including CBT. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to substance use. If you're ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.

Margo Green
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)
I have pursued further education about Smart Recovery and have taken courses in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and addiction pharmacology to better support SUD /AUD and addiction. I also understand and support interested clients through their use of twelve step programs.
The various challenges around food, eating and weight are other areas that I have extra training to support clients with. Through psychotherapy, I support the emotional, cognitive and behavioural aspects of food and weight-related struggles.

Substance Abuse
Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
Struggling with addiction often means battling shame, isolation, and the overwhelming feeling that you're trapped in patterns you can't break. I understands that addiction is rarely just about substances or behaviors—it's often rooted in deeper emotional pain, trauma, or limiting beliefs that developed as survival mechanisms.
Using evidence-based approaches like CBT to address thought patterns that fuel addictive behaviors, DBT skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and EMDR to process underlying trauma, I help clients understand the "why" behind their addiction while building practical tools for lasting recovery.
I create a completely non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationship with addiction without fear of criticism. Whether you're seeking recovery from substance use, behavioral addictions, or supporting a loved one through their journey, I will work with you to develop healthy coping strategies, rebuild self-worth, and create a life where recovery feels sustainable and fulfilling.
Recovery is possible, and you don't have to face it alone. Together, we will work toward breaking free from the cycle and reclaiming the life you deserve.
