Addictions or Substance Abuse
Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
Struggling with addiction often means battling shame, isolation, and the overwhelming feeling that you're trapped in patterns you can't break. I understands that addiction is rarely just about substances or behaviors—it's often rooted in deeper emotional pain, trauma, or limiting beliefs that developed as survival mechanisms.
Using evidence-based approaches like CBT to address thought patterns that fuel addictive behaviors, DBT skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and EMDR to process underlying trauma, I help clients understand the "why" behind their addiction while building practical tools for lasting recovery.
I create a completely non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationship with addiction without fear of criticism. Whether you're seeking recovery from substance use, behavioral addictions, or supporting a loved one through their journey, I will work with you to develop healthy coping strategies, rebuild self-worth, and create a life where recovery feels sustainable and fulfilling.
Recovery is possible, and you don't have to face it alone. Together, we will work toward breaking free from the cycle and reclaiming the life you deserve.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
You've probably tried to quit many times, only to pick up your addiction again. We tend to develop addictions to ease the pain of trauma or neglect. Gabor Maté suggests that, if we want to treat the addiction, we have to treat the trauma. This allows us to get to the root of the problem, rather than simply trying to stop harmful behaviours through willpower. Bringing healing to our wounds can bring lasting recovery from the power of addiction.

Stephanie Campoli
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
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)

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.
