Substance Abuse
Anthony De Lemos Kawka
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Addiction is more than a behavior — it’s often rooted in emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. I offer nonjudgmental support to help you understand the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and work toward lasting recovery and self-empowerment. Substance use can be both a symptom and a source of deeper distress. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the role substances play in their lives, offering support, accountability, and tools for change in a respectful, person-centered environment.

Substance Abuse
Cindy Jennings
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Addiction rarely affects just one person—it impacts the entire relationship. When your partner struggles with alcohol or substance use, you may find yourself trying to manage the chaos, protect the relationship, or prevent things from getting worse. Over time this can lead to exhaustion, resentment, confusion, and a sense that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change.
I specialize in supporting partners and spouses of people living with addiction. Together we explore how addiction is affecting your relationship and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Many partners feel responsible for fixing the problem or worry that setting limits will make things worse. Therapy can help you develop healthier ways of responding while also protecting your own well-being.
Using approaches such as the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model, I help partners learn practical strategies to communicate more effectively, support positive change, and reduce the cycle of conflict and crisis that addiction often creates.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Support can help you regain your footing, strengthen your voice, and find more constructive ways to navigate addiction within the relationship.

Substance Abuse
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Through my work with individuals in recovery and involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous, I have supported clients navigating the challenges of rehabilitation and sobriety. Recovery is not simply about abstaining from substances—it is also about understanding and working through feelings of isolation and loneliness, relationships, developing resilience, and rebuilding a sense of faith in oneself. My goal is to help clients move toward empowerment, learning to cope not through substances, but through healthier pathways that support overall wellbeing.

Shannon Kane
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP, C.R.P.O, H.B.A, M.A.C.P
Addiction is often a way of coping with unresolved emotions, trauma, or deep-seated struggles. I provide a judgment-free and supportive space where clients can explore the underlying causes of their substance use and build healthier coping strategies. Using IFS, EMDR, and Mindfulness, I help individuals address cravings, emotional regulation, and behavioral patterns, guiding them toward sustainable recovery and self-empowerment.

Approach: Emotion-focused, CBT, motivational interviewing-informed strategies, trauma-informed care.
I explore what emotional needs, stressors, or experiences may be contributing to substance use or other addictive behaviours. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness of triggers, developing healthier coping strategies, and strengthening motivation for change.
