Rose laure Agbazan
Hypnotherapist, Clinical hypnotherapist, Clinical Aromatherapist CAHP
Addictive patterns often begin as protection. Instead of fighting yourself, we gently explore what you’ve been trying to soothe. From there, we build inner safety so you don’t have to escape your own emotions anymore.

Addictions/substance abuse is often an unconscious coping strategy to deal with trauma, emotional/physical pain and anything that overwhelms the central nervous system/brain. Once the central nervous system/brain are taken out of fight-flight-freeze-collapse (survival mode), balance can occur.

Substance Abuse
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

Substance Abuse
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
I view addictive patterns as powerful survival strategies—often, they are a 'part' of you trying to manage unbearable emotional pain. My perspective is shaped by over a decade of international experience, having worked on the frontlines of drug and alcohol agencies and homeless shelters in both the UK and Canada.
This background allows me to meet you with deep compassion and zero judgment. We won't just focus on the behavior; we will address the underlying trauma and early relationships that made these substances feel like a necessity. Together, we work to help your 'parts' find safer ways to cope, moving you toward a life of stability and genuine choice.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Addiction is never just about the substance—it’s about pain, protection, and survival.
Whether you're navigating recovery, in active addiction, or somewhere in between, I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore the deeper roots beneath the behavior. With a background in front-line work in addiction and trauma treatment centers, I understand how complex and layered this journey can be. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you build compassionate relationships with the parts of you that turn to substances for relief, connection, or escape. Together, we’ll work to heal the wounds underneath and reconnect you with the strength, clarity, and Self-energy already within you.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Addiction often develops as a way of coping with emotional pain, trauma, stress, or overwhelming life experiences rather than a lack of willpower. Together, we'll explore the underlying causes of addictive behaviours, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the self-awareness and resilience needed to create lasting change. My goal is to help you break free from unhealthy patterns, strengthen your self-worth, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
