Anthony De Lemos Kawka
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Addiction is more than a behavior — it’s often rooted in emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. I offer nonjudgmental support to help you understand the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and work toward lasting recovery and self-empowerment. Substance use can be both a symptom and a source of deeper distress. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the role substances play in their lives, offering support, accountability, and tools for change in a respectful, person-centered environment.

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.”

Substance Abuse
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Through my work with individuals in recovery and involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous, I have supported clients navigating the challenges of rehabilitation and sobriety. Recovery is not simply about abstaining from substances—it is also about understanding and working through feelings of isolation and loneliness, relationships, developing resilience, and rebuilding a sense of faith in oneself. My goal is to help clients move toward empowerment, learning to cope not through substances, but through healthier pathways that support overall wellbeing.

Mississauga is one of Canada's largest cities and a major commercial hub anchored by multinational corporate headquarters along its City Centre corridor, creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and the pressures of corporate culture. The city is exceptionally diverse — with large South Asian, Caribbean, and East Asian populations among the most multicultural in Canada — and multilingual therapists offering culturally grounded care are especially well represented. Trillium Health Partners Credit Valley Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private practice community serving Cooksville, Port Credit, and Erin Mills. Many Mississauga residents also access therapy in Toronto or through telehealth, given the city's proximity to the Greater Toronto Area's broader therapy ecosystem.
