Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
My journey with addiction is deeply personal, having been marked by the impact of my father's functional addiction from a young age. Despite the challenges it posed to our family, his struggles provided a unique perspective on the insidious nature of this illness—one that systematically dismantles lives, relationships, self-esteem, and even financial well-being.
While some may find it surprising, I consider it a fortune to have experienced the profound effects of addiction within my family. This experience became a catalyst for my healing and understanding of this intricate and complex illness. Today, as a specialized therapist and coach in addiction, I draw upon my personal journey to not only care for myself but also guide countless others through their path to recovery.
Working with addiction is powerful because, behind the façade of this illness, attempting to soothe deep-seated pain, there is always a remarkable human being waiting to actualize their full potential. I view addiction as an illness that, with proper care, can transform into a blessing, unleashing newfound superpowers. Those who have survived the grip of addiction, embarked on a healing journey and acquired wisdom and tools can become agents of positive change in the world.
Witnessing individuals transition from the depths of addiction to a purposeful and passionate life is akin to witnessing a superpower in action. The trauma, pain, and neglect that fueled the addiction often become the driving force behind a life dedicated to health, well-being, and positive impact.
Approaching this work requires delicacy and depth. The individual undertaking the healing journey needs perseverance, a thorough understanding, and decisive action to transform the dark tunnel of addiction into a sea of light. It would be my utmost honour to guide you through this challenging and isolating experience, helping you emerge into a world of your own creation—a world filled with choices that fulfill your life and enrich the lives of those around you.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
I have worked on a Community Withdrawal Team for substances for five plus years providing counselling to people who are withdrawing from alcohol, cocaine and other substances. I can work with you and your doctor to help you succeed in the difficult process of withdrawal. If you do not have a doctor; I can refer you to one who works specifically with Addictions or you can visit Ontario RAAM clinics associated with most hospitals on your own. You can contact True North Medical which is based in Toronto and see a doctor there. Those services are covered by OHIP in the Province of Ontario. I also can support you through post-withdrawal period which is often one of the hardest parts of the withdrawal. I provide counselling for Addictions only in the City of Toronto or outside of York Region. All other therapy I offer is Ontario wide.

Iryna Gavrysh
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with individuals who find themselves leaning on substances like alcohol and drugs or behaviors, such as sex or gambling, as a way of coping through the ups and downs of life. My clients often discover that this is no longer serving them and they want to find new and healthier ways of coping. This is possible and opens the door to greater connection with themselves and deeper and more satisfying relationships with their loved ones.
