Jue Wang
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC, CCC
We are passionate about empowering you to become a better version of yourself. Addiction is when the behaviour takes control of your mind and emotion and becomes your life's driver. We understand addiction can harm people's mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. Stigmas about addiction cause a lot of shame, so people feel they need to lie and deny their addiction, which was merely seeking help, a tug of war. Basic needs, such as eating and sleeping, can be deeply disturbed by addictive and drug-seeking behaviours. Addiction and social isolation go hand in hand, and if you find yourself in isolation and struggle with addiction by yourself, you might want to seek professional help.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Addiction such as substance use and alcohol addiction can leave an individual feeling alone and powerless falling into the addictive behaviour patterns more and more. This can lead to the deterioration of an individual’s health and well being by disrupting relationships, daily living routines, and financial stability while compromising quality of life. Therapy for addiction helps the individual understand the motives behind their behaviour and develop a treatment plan. I can help to break these dysfunctional behavior patterns by providing a safe space and emotional support to explore the addiction. Often individuals who have substance use issues may have comorbid depression or anxiety and may find it difficult to cope with stress, grief, relational discourse, and life transitions. I can support you in breaking dysfunctional patterns in dealing with overwhelming emotions and learn healthy coping strategies to build self-efficacy, improve distress tolerance, and change negative thinking to create a positive belief system.

Michael Indermaur
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MACP, BSc
I have both personal and professional experience working through substance addictions. I identify as an addict in recovery. Before getting clean, I tried many different treatment options and recovery fellowships. I know what works and doesn't for me, and how and why what works for you may be different. I'm not a dogmatic big book thumper (nor am I a big book basher). I think that the role of recovery fellowships is hugely important, although I do take issue with the notion of powerlessness, as I believe everyone has the power to change their lives, even if abstinence/sobriety is inaccessible in any given moment. I don't subscribe to an either/or abstinence versus harm reduction approach, but if you have a preference for one of these approaches, I'll roll with that. As with all my clients, I'll get to know you well, and we can find a way of doing therapy that works for you. I am a member of refuge recovery; I facilitate recovery meetings, and I've worked in residential treatment settings. I also have experience with sponsorship and mentorship. If you've only every been exposed to twelve-step programs and treatment centers, I want you to know that there are other options. I haven't always found recovery settings all that accepting (while addiction doesn't discriminate, recovery groups can). Everyone's experience with recovery is different, so it's important to work with someone who treats you as a unique person. Throughout my recovery, I've had various short-lived experience with a variety of "counsellors" but most of these people weren't willing or able to help me meaningfully. If you can relate, it's important that you don't give up on counselling. Once you find someone who gets you, who you trust, and is able to offer you the support you need, you'll thank yourself.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Addiction is NOT a choice. Substance use is usually bourne out of traumatic experiences and is a coping mechanism to escape from them. As it's not a good coping mechanism, this "escape" often becomes an additional problem to deal with. To work with an addiction, the best way is to target the issues that created the addiction itself, meanwhile learning practical and realistic tools to manage the addiction and emotions. You don't have to live on a rollercoaster of shame, guilt, and regret. Change is never easy but that doesn't mean it's impossible; everything worth anything takes effort and commitment in order to achieve success. When you're finally sick and tired of the burdens and having the substances control you, let's start working to take your life back.
