Substance Abuse
The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
I support individuals navigating challenges with substance use from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed perspective. Rather than viewing addiction as a personal failure, I understand it as a coping response—often rooted in stress, emotional pain, or past experiences. My goal is to help you explore the underlying patterns and needs that substance use may be meeting, while gently building healthier, more sustainable ways of coping.
Using a blend of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, we work together to increase awareness of triggers, reduce cravings, and strengthen your ability to respond differently in moments of stress. I also support clients in rebuilding their relationship with themselves—fostering self-compassion, emotional resilience, and a sense of control.
Whether you are looking to reduce use, maintain recovery, or better understand your relationship with substances, this space is designed to meet you where you are. Change doesn’t happen through shame—it happens through awareness, support, and intentional steps forward.

Theresa Rybchinski
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, SP
I believe that addiction, whether in the form of substance use or behavioral addiction, is often an attempt to cope with life's stress and pain. Initially, this coping strategy may have been effective, but over time it can start to negatively impact key areas of your life.
I take a holistic approach in my work, integrating both somatic and cognitive techniques to address the underlying issues. My goal is to help you move away from addictive behaviors and toward a healthier lifestyle, allowing you to better manage life's stressors.
I have eight years of experience working in inpatient, outpatient, and harm reduction programs.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Addiction is driven by the psyche which is trying to salve a troublesome problem that we may not even be aware of and is trying to help us to survive. Addiction hijacks our self and we need to get back in control of our own lives and destinies. An addiction is often more compelling than anything else including family, earning a living and can wreck our life.. Some substances also cause a physical addiction that can be managed and reduced with medical help. Once we determine and understand why this addiction exists, we can start to process it and loosen its grip on us.
