Addictions therapists in Ottawa, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Catherine Dwyer
Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
When people start to question their alcohol use, they often google whether or not they fit the criteria for being an alcoholic. But the better questions to ask yourself are: what is my relationship to alcohol like? how does it impact my life? is it getting in the way of my leading a meaningful, fulfilled, balanced, healthy life? how do I feel about that? If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol at all - whether you're sober curious or realize that you have an addiction, I can help. I provide alternative approaches to more traditional 12 step models such as AA for sober curiosity, problematic alcohol use and addiction. Together we can gently and compassionately explore where you're at, where you'd like to be and how to get there.

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.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Addiction can be a scary thing that is often surrounded by ambiguity and confusion: why do I continue to use when I know it is bad for me? Why do I want to use in the first place? Why can't I seem to stop using and why can't I change? In working with clients, step 1 of our work is figuring out the answers to these questions and figuring out why addiction occurs in the first place. After this, we explore tools, resources, and therapies that will best work for clients in helping them create the changes they need and to promote the lifestyle they want.

Sierra Goldfinger
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
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.
