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.

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.

I provide an understanding, judgment-free space to talk about substance use and the compulsions that lead to addiction. We will collaboratively investigate the underlying causes behind these behaviors and start to build healthier strategies into your life. Methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy, we’ll work on reducing the impact of triggers, bringing calm to the nervous system, and building resilience.
