Addictions or Substance Abuse
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, overwhelming, and wrapped up in shame, especially when you're trying to keep it all together on the outside. Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances, in recovery, or somewhere in between, we're here to support you without judgment.
We understand that substance use is often a coping strategy for deeper pain, stress, trauma, or emotional disconnection. In therapy, we’ll explore the "why" behind the patterns, build healthier ways to cope, and help you reconnect with yourself and the life you want to live.
You're not alone in this, and change is possible at your own pace, on your own terms.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Contrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Substance abuse may seem impossible to manage as if its automatic and controlling you. But together we can put your addiction into perspective and learn what triggers your substance use, how else you can manage temptation, cope with stressors, ride out urges, and free yourself from this burden that holds you under its thumb. This is not a test of willpower or personal failing, it's all about skill building.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
The constant use of some sort of “intervention” (be it drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.) to look outside of oneself or feel better when life gets out of control. The problem is that even though these “interventions” might work in the short-term they do not help in the long-term, and usually make life spin further out of control. Psychotherapy and rehabilitation are used to help a person wine off of the aforementioned “interventions.”

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Bipolar Disorder Therapy - Greg Rennie
Registered Psychotherapist
I have over 10 years experience working as an addiction specialist in top addiction treatment centres in Ontario, Canada. I utilize the same approaches as "rehabs" do but in an outpatient individual, one to one environment. I have helped many clients overcome why they go back again and again to their substance or behaviour of choice but can't seem to stay clean and sober. As someone who is in recovery myself (30 years) I also have been challenged with the why of addiction. Why we use an external means to escape from our core issues. I am taking clients but currently have a waitlist. Go to https://rennieclinicalservices.janeapp.com/wait_list/new?staff_member_id=1&treatment_id=1

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It can be hard to know where to begin when dealing with addiction because its roots can run deep into the fabric of our lives. When working with individuals who experience addictions, I first seek to understand and appreciate each person’s story and work to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where healing can begin. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have helped me to understand the healing power of compassion, acceptance and encouragement. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
