Address other issues commonly associated with addiction, such as anxiety and social anxiety, stress, low self esteem, ineffective communication, trauma, and poor coping skills.

Substance Abuse
Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
It takes a lot of courage to admit you have an addiction. It takes courage to admit when you feel you are no longer in control of your desires.
I want to tell you that you are not alone. Whether it is the better-known addictions like alcohol, nicotine, and substances like opiates/cocaine/amphetamines, or something behavioral like gambling, overeating, or internet use, there is nothing wrong with you and you aren’t the only person experiencing this. The alcohol industry spends millions of dollars each year finding the best way to get you to drink. Casinos spend millions getting you to gamble. The tech giants of social media/gaming/pornography spend millions to maximize your time on their websites. They want you to experience this alone, because addiction thrives when it hides in the shadows. I offer a safe, secure space to examine it in the light.
Together we will examine your relationship to your addiction. I do not practice from an “abstinence-only” model, but instead focus on what YOU want. What does the problem substance or behavior mean to you? What purpose does it serve in your life? What, if anything, would you want to replace it?
What is important is that you feel like you are in control of your own life, and not being led by forces that have spent millions researching how to take this control away from you. Don't fight this battle alone.

Substance Abuse
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.
