Addictions-Substance Abuse
Alcohol-Weed-Street Drugs-Pick your poison. Addictions are a defence mechanism or in simple terms a way of avoiding our feelings. As a trauma informed counsellor, there are very few clients whom I have come across that have not experienced some sort of addiction. Similarly, as I have done with so many of them, we can begin to safely talk about the feelings and matters which may have led you down this path or are keeping you stuck in pattern of behavior. Aside from working through these one of the key issues in dealing with addictions is finding more healthy ways of coping to replace or at least reduce these harmful behaviors. I would be honored to offer you my support and guidance in developing a plan, at your own pace, to become less dependent on whatever you are having difficulty letting go of.

Substance Abuse
Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Addiction is a way of coping with your pain. It is a medication that is self destructive. I will help you befriend and become conscious of the origins of your pain. You will learn how to listen to your feelings rather than run away from them. We will work together to give you different coping devices. I will help you see yourself in a way that you can have compassion for who you are and what happened to you rather than be unkind and cruel to yourself.

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.

Greater Sudbury is the largest city in Northern Ontario and a regional centre for mining, healthcare, and education in a geographically vast and isolated part of Canada, where the distance from major urban centres and the realities of a resource-based economy shape the mental health landscape in specific ways. The city has a significant Indigenous population and a French-speaking minority, and mental health services that are culturally and linguistically responsive to both communities are an important part of the care landscape. Harsh winters, geographic isolation, and the cyclical economic pressures of a mining-dependent economy contribute to elevated rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use, and Laurentian University's psychology programs have historically contributed to the local supply of trained professionals. Both public and private therapy services are available, though access to specialized care can require telehealth or travel to southern Ontario.
