Substance Abuse
Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
As a therapist, I know how challenging it can be to manage addiction. Addiction can impact the quality of our lives, our relationships, and our connection to ourselves. Therapy can provide a safe space to navigate addiction and explore what you wish for in relation to the substance or behaviour. Discussing the addiction can also provide us useful clues as to what roots the addiction, allowing us to navigate the core issue at hand and explore preferred coping strategies. Connect with me today for a free consultation to begin your healing journey.

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.

Kingston is a historic Ontario city at the junction of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, home to Queen's University—one of Canada's leading universities—the Royal Military College of Canada, and an unusually high concentration of federal correctional institutions, which together shape a distinctive community with university, military, and criminal justice populations all coexisting in a relatively small city. Queen's University's student mental health services are a major resource, and the Royal Military College's close-knit military community creates specific needs around service identity, transition, and trauma. The correctional sector workforce—correctional officers, administrators, and support staff at Kingston's several federal penitentiaries—faces unique occupational stress and trauma exposure that is an important dimension of the local mental health landscape. Common therapy concerns include student wellbeing and academic pressure at Queen's, military identity and transition, correctional sector occupational trauma, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a city with an unusually complex and layered community character.
