Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with addictions or substance abuse, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Kirsty Matthews
Counsellor/Therapist, MA CCC
Your addiction is protecting you from something. Often it helps to explore the question: what are you not wanting to feel ? Together we can unpack what the root cause of your addiction is, and find ways to help you confront these challenges head on. You are not alone, and you do not need to go through this recovery journey on your own.

Substance Abuse
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.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, addiction is understood to be a manifestation of unresolved trauma for which the addiction is a coping method. I work to help clients better understand both their addiction and their trauma, and how to resolve both by learning more healthy and helpful ways of coping and by doing trauma processing. As Gabor Mate says "do not ask why the addiction, ask why the pain".
