Substance use becomes a problem when it feels beyond your control. If you ever have trouble stopping your use once you start, if friends or family tell you that you should cut down or if your use has ever resulted in harmful consequences, then you may be struggling with alcohol or substance misuse. Recovery is a personal journey and looks different for everyone. For some, it may be abstinence, for others it may be cutting back or setting a goal to reduce their use.
How you come to recovery, whether by the prompting of friends and family, or by your own desire to make some changes, the important thing is that you have taken the difficult step of reaching out for help and support. There is a common saying in recovery: "Only I can do it, but I can't do it alone." This is true for many reasons. First, recovery can be difficult. While we have good intentions, the things that trigger us to use are very hard to manage without some help. Additionally, addiction has been called a disease of isolation. Connecting with others enables you to break the patterns that make you vulnerable to coping with alcohol or drugs and helps you to establish new and more sustainable ways to deal with stress and triggers.
Our team has supported individuals in their recovery journey in both residential and community settings. We are familiar with a wide variety of resources and can help you navigate treatment options. We understand that addiction affects not only the individual but also their friends and family. If you love someone with a substance use problem, you also require support. Helping the helper is a big part of the recovery process. You are of greater assistance to your loved one, when you are taking care of your own needs too.
Deciding to cut down or stop using altogether can be complex and difficult. However there are ways to overcome the barriers to change. We will support you in finding resources and strategies so that you feel more confident in your ability to make those changes. Please reach out for a free consultation to learn more about how we can help you.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Have you been having a hard time coping with stress and unpleasant emotions? Do you feel on edge? Has using substances been helpful in this regard? Would you rather drink or smoke when you want to and not because you feel you need to? If so, then please reach out. Often substance misuse is a bandaid solution to deeper feelings, experiences and thoughts and feelings that long to be explored. Together, with your therapist, you can develop other coping skills so that you do not feel as dependent on ways of coping that may not be serving you anymore. Reach out today to work with Vade who has extensive experience in addictions, trauma, family systems, hypnotherapy, and inner child work.
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
