Substance Abuse
Zain Abideen
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist , BSc, MACP
Struggles with substance use often develop as a way of coping with stress, emotional pain, or unresolved experiences. In therapy we explore the patterns and underlying triggers that drive these behaviours while building healthier ways to manage emotions and regain control. The focus is on long term change rather than temporary symptom relief.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, overwhelmed, or driven to escape uncomfortable feelings? Many people struggling with substance use or compulsive behaviors learned early on to push emotions down or manage them through coping strategies that once made sense. You may have been taught that anger is unacceptable, sadness is weakness, or vulnerability isn’t safe—so substances or behaviors became a way to get through.
These emotions themselves aren’t the problem. They’re natural, meaningful signals. What matters is how we respond when they show up. Together, we can gently explore your experiences, understand the role addiction has played, and develop more intentional ways of coping—so you can feel more grounded, in control, and lighter over time. You feel things deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

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
Wayne Dewhurst
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CAMFT
Addictions can affect far more than the person struggling with the behaviour, often creating stress, conflict, and uncertainty within families and relationships. I have more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and families understand the patterns behind addictive behaviours, including sex addiction, and work toward meaningful change. My practical, non-judgmental approach focuses on building greater awareness, developing healthier coping strategies, and supporting both the individual and the people affected by the addiction.

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.”
