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
Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I help clients understand the emotional, relational, historical, and nervous-system patterns that fuel addictive cycles. Instead of focusing only on behavior change, we explore what the mind and body are trying to cope with beneath the surface. My approach supports deeper regulation, clarity, and long-term stability and curiosity rather than judgment, so you can build a healthier relationship with yourself and your choices

Substance Abuse
Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
All of us engage in addictive behaviours at different points in our lives; they often begin as functional strategies to help us cope. It is when these behaviours start to take hold—demanding our energy, attention, and emotional bandwidth—that they shift into patterns that no longer serve us. Behaviours such as substance use, disordered eating, overworking, or digital escape can temporarily numb feelings like shame, guilt, or emptiness. In our work together, we focus on identifying patterns that keep you stuck, strengthening emotional regulation, and building sustainable behavioural changes that align with your goals and values.
