Substance Abuse
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.

Substance Abuse
Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
Addiction is rarely just about the substance—it is often a response to deep pain and a need for protection. Whether you are in recovery, currently struggling, or somewhere in between, I offer a compassionate and judgment-free space to explore what lies beneath the behavior. With experience working on the front lines of addiction and trauma treatment, I understand how complex this path can be. Together, we will gently explore the parts of you that turn to substances for relief or escape, supporting healing and helping you reconnect with your inner strength, clarity, and wholeness.

Substance Abuse
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Something took hold, and now it feels like it's running the show. Whether it's alcohol, substances, or a compulsion you can't quite name, the shame and exhaustion of fighting yourself is often harder than the thing itself. Having been in a similar place myself, I resonate with that. I work with people navigating addiction and recovery not by focusing on what's wrong with them, but by understanding what their behaviour has been trying to do for them, and building something more sustainable in its place.

Substance Abuse
Sexual Recovery Coach
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Whatever your drug of choice is, the notion of giving it up and living without it can seem impossible. As an internationally certified addiction counselor (ICAdC), I help addicted individuals create new resources, patterns and habits as they achieve a level of sobriety and begin navigating life sober. Stopping the behavior is the first step. The second phase is crucial; identifying what purpose the addiction serves, what were the contributing factors. Once there is a higher level of awareness, new methods of self-soothing and emotional regulation can be developed. Addiction is a prison; recovery is an escape from that prison.
