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.

Support for anyone at any stage of recovery, whether you’re just starting to explore change or already on your way. We’ll look at what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what additional treatment options (like in-patient programs or addiction medicine) might be a good fit. The focus is always on your goals and what recovery looks like for you. I specialize in both substance use (alcohol & drugs) and behavioural addictions (gambling, gaming/tech, sexual behaviours)

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
I specialize in treating and repairing addictive patterns by addressing both the behaviors and the underlying emotional, relational, and nervous system drivers that sustain them. My work focuses on reducing compulsive use, interrupting cycles of shame and secrecy, and rebuilding self-regulation, accountability, and self-trust. Through structured therapeutic intervention, nervous system stabilization, and relational repair, clients are supported in creating lasting recovery and meaningful change—at a pace that respects their lived experience while remaining oriented toward sustainable resolution of addiction.
