Substance Abuse
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Having an addiction is not a sign of weakness or lack of character. In fact, reaching out for help and being open to change takes a great deal of strength. My approach is one of openness and non-judgment. I follow a harm reduction approach meaning that I respect my clients right to set their own goals which will then guide our sessions. I appreciate that not everyone is ready to, nor wants to, work towards full sobriety. Harm reduction is about reducing the negative impact that substance use has on that person’s well-being and life. I strongly believe that any positive change is a success. If you think that my approach would work for you, please book a free consultation.

Substance Abuse
Novus Rehab
Registered Social Worker, RSW
No matter what stage you are at with addiction, we work with clients on harm reduction approaches, stages of change and goal setting, as well as exploring underlying factors that result in addiction behaviour. Often there are experiences of abuse and trauma behind using substances to cope. We work with you to identify the root cause of your addiction, and provide strategies to help you cope better. You may be in the contemplation stage (unsure if you want to stop using) or you may have been in recovery for some time and would like to explore more deeply the root causes or ongoing challenges you experience.

Substance Abuse
The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
I support individuals navigating challenges with substance use from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed perspective. Rather than viewing addiction as a personal failure, I understand it as a coping response—often rooted in stress, emotional pain, or past experiences. My goal is to help you explore the underlying patterns and needs that substance use may be meeting, while gently building healthier, more sustainable ways of coping.
Using a blend of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, we work together to increase awareness of triggers, reduce cravings, and strengthen your ability to respond differently in moments of stress. I also support clients in rebuilding their relationship with themselves—fostering self-compassion, emotional resilience, and a sense of control.
Whether you are looking to reduce use, maintain recovery, or better understand your relationship with substances, this space is designed to meet you where you are. Change doesn’t happen through shame—it happens through awareness, support, and intentional steps forward.

Substance Abuse
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
Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Substance use can sometimes become a way to cope with stress, trauma, anxiety, grief, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, it may begin to create shame, secrecy, relationship strain, or conflict with the life you want to live. I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship with substances, understand your triggers, and build healthier, more intentional ways of coping.
