Oakville, Ontario therapist: Mind By Design®, registered psychotherapist
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.”

North York, Ontario therapist: Sierra Goldfinger, registered psychotherapist
Addictions or 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 or Substance Abuse

Ryta Marie Peschka

Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While substance use typically begins as recreational activity it can become habit forming and often develops addictive behaviors interfering with other areas of our lives, such as relationships, jobs, and finances. To increase awareness and insight into the reasons for using, I offer evidence-based treatment while providing you with options along the continuum of the Harm Reduction approach towards abstinence. We will explore any underlying emotional needs and relationships. By gaining insight to any ambivalent thoughts and feelings around changing patterns of substance misuse I will support you in the setting and achieving of personal goals.

North York, Ontario therapist: Greg Rennie - Bipolar Disorder And Addiction Specialist, registered psychotherapist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

Greg Rennie - Bipolar Disorder And Addiction Specialist

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 (28 years) I also have been challenged with the why of addiction. Why we use an external means to escape from our core issues. Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KaT) for addiction, depression and anxiety is available for Toronto clients. I offer a free 15 minute consultation.

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.
