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.”

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
Addiction counselling sessions can explore the reasons why the addiction happened such as the behaviour and the motivations of the person. This then helps the individual to become more aware of their actions and understand themselves better. This is very important in the process of recovery.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Zain Abideen
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), 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.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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.

Corrine Wilde, Wilde Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I can support you in your endeavours to deal with your alcohol, drug or gambling addiction. Sometimes the harm reduction approach is possible, abstinence may be your goal. I work with either approach. No matter what stage of change you are at, support and psychotherapy to maintain your commitment and move forward in your life is possible. Don't let relapse stop you in your determination to have a fuller and more joyous life.

Online in Oakville, ON Ontario
Oakville is one of the most affluent municipalities in Canada — a well-established Toronto suburb with a high median household income, well-funded schools, and a therapy culture that reflects the stresses of high-achieving, upper-middle-class suburban family life. The city's concentration of executives, professionals, and their families creates demand for therapists working with relationship complexity, parenting under pressure, and the psychological costs of maintaining prosperity and family cohesion. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Oakville's growing diversity — with expanding South Asian and East Asian communities in its newer residential subdivisions — is gradually broadening the range of cultural frameworks therapists need to engage with.
