Substance Abuse
Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
When addiction takes hold, it’s easy to feel trapped in a cycle you don’t fully understand. You may know what you want to change, but still feel powerless to stop. This can leave you questioning your own worth. I am committed to helping you uncover the deeper causes of your struggles and regain control of your life. In therapy, you can work to identify the triggers that lead to substance use. The goal of therapy is to help you make clearer, more informed choices about your use of substances or alcohol and to live a life that is more manageable and congruent with your goals. Together, we’ll understand the root of your struggles, unpack the patterns that keep them going, work through shame without judgment, and build healthier ways to cope, make clearer choices, and regain control.

Substance Abuse
Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I work with addictions and substance use by exploring the emotional, relational, and unconscious factors that may underlie these patterns. Through a psychodynamic lens, we examine how substances may serve to manage pain, regulate emotion, or express inner conflict. Together, we work toward deeper self-understanding, healing, and more sustainable forms of relief and connection.

Substance Abuse
Zlata Kovaltchouk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RPC, RP
Gain a deeper understanding of your addiction patterns and the function these behaviours serve when it comes to emotional management. Learn more effective ways to connect with and manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and begin taking steps towards what really matters in life. Address other issues commonly associated with addiction, such as anxiety and social anxiety, stress, low self esteem, ineffective communication, trauma, and poor coping skills. Focus is placed on beginning to build a richer and more meaningful life and to develop a better relationship with the self, rather than focusing on sobriety and abstinence primarily. Get better at creating the kind of life where substances no longer play an important role.

Hamilton is undergoing rapid transformation from a steel city to an emerging arts, tech, and health-sciences hub, and therapists here frequently work with the tension between a proud working-class identity and the changes brought by gentrification and urban renewal. McMaster University and McMaster University Medical Centre — one of Canada's leading health research institutions — provide institutional mental health resources and an active clinical training ecosystem. The city's significant immigrant population from South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America drives demand for culturally informed and multilingual therapists. Hamilton's affordability relative to Toronto has made it a destination for those priced out of the GTA, and therapists regularly address the adjustment challenges of relocation and community rebuilding.
