Addictions or 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.

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.

Bipolar Disorder Therapy - Greg Rennie
Registered Psychotherapist
I have over 10 years experience working as an addiction specialist in top addiction treatment centres in Ontario, Canada. I utilize the same approaches as "rehabs" do but in an outpatient individual, one to one environment. I have helped many clients overcome why they go back again and again to their substance or behaviour of choice but can't seem to stay clean and sober. As someone who is in recovery myself (30 years) I also have been challenged with the why of addiction. Why we use an external means to escape from our core issues. I am taking clients but currently have a waitlist. Go to https://rennieclinicalservices.janeapp.com/wait_list/new?staff_member_id=1&treatment_id=1

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.
