Addictions or Substance Abuse
Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
I view addiction not just as a problem but an unhelpful solution to a different problem. Often, we turn to addiction to get away from something else. It is that “something else” that we would try to understand in our sessions. We will then work to find healthier ways of coping to replace the addiction. I also specialize in helping reduce cannabis use, which may not be addictive as a substance but has addictive effects. It is never too late to start this journey. Call today to book a free consultation.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
If you’re reading this, you may be thinking about making changes around your alcohol or substance use — or perhaps you’re worried about someone you care about. Reaching this point is meaningful. It takes honesty and courage to look at your relationship with substances and wonder if something needs to shift. Recognizing a potential problem is never easy, and acknowledging it is a very important first step.
You might notice that once you start using, it’s hard to stop. Maybe loved ones have expressed concern, or you’ve noticed consequences in your health, relationships, or day-to-day functioning. These experiences don’t mean you’ve failed — they simply signal that something in your coping system needs attention, and that you deserve support.
Recovery is deeply personal, and there is no single “right” way to do it. For some people, abstinence feels like the safest and healthiest path. For others, the goal might be reducing use, setting limits, or finding new ways to cope before turning to substances. What matters most is that the goals reflect what you want for your life. The fact that you’re seeking information, asking questions, and exploring your options shows a readiness for change — and that readiness matters.
There’s a common phrase in recovery: “Only I can do it, but I can’t do it alone.” Most people recognize their patterns long before they’re able to shift them, because triggers, habits, and stress responses are powerful. Trying to manage all of that without support can feel overwhelming. Connecting with a therapist or recovery professional can help you understand your patterns, face your triggers with more confidence, and build healthier ways of coping.
At Laird Counselling, our team brings extensive experience from both residential and community-based treatment settings. We understand the wide range of treatment options available — from outpatient counselling to detox services to group programs — and we can help you navigate what fits best for your goals and circumstances. We also understand that addiction doesn’t only affect the individual; it has a ripple effect, touching family, partners, and friends. If you’re supporting someone who is struggling, your well-being matters too. Having your own support can help you maintain boundaries, reduce burnout, and stay grounded as you care for your loved one.
Deciding to make a change, even a small one, can feel intimidating — but you don’t have to figure everything out alone. There are practical strategies, supportive tools, and local resources that can help you feel more confident and hopeful about the path ahead.
If you’d like to explore your options or simply talk things through, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. We can discuss your situation, answer your questions, and help you determine the next steps that feel right for you or someone you care about.
