Substance Abuse
Lincoln Stoller
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
I specialize in neuropsychology, hypnotherapy, and cognitive-emotional exploration when addressing chemical, behavioral, situational, and mental habits. People generally focus too much on one aspect of their situations and forfeit their power to develop skills in other areas. Brain training coupled with cognitive-emotional and spiritual therapy is more effective in addressing substance addiction than chemical, behavioral, or physical therapies alone.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
