Addictions or Substance Abuse
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with substance use can feel isolating, overwhelming, and wrapped up in shame, especially when you're trying to keep it all together on the outside. Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances, in recovery, or somewhere in between, we're here to support you without judgment.
We understand that substance use is often a coping strategy for deeper pain, stress, trauma, or emotional disconnection. In therapy, we’ll explore the "why" behind the patterns, build healthier ways to cope, and help you reconnect with yourself and the life you want to live.
You're not alone in this, and change is possible at your own pace, on your own terms.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Substance abuse may seem impossible to manage as if its automatic and controlling you. But together we can put your addiction into perspective and learn what triggers your substance use, how else you can manage temptation, cope with stressors, ride out urges, and free yourself from this burden that holds you under its thumb. This is not a test of willpower or personal failing, it's all about skill building.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Contrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Feeling out of control and unable to stop engaging in harmful behaviours can feel shameful, over-whelming and hopeless. My approach to addiction treatment is based in a harm reduction model. This approach acknowledges that maintaining abstinence may not be a realistic goal. Without judgement we will work together to set realistic goals that seek to reduce the negative impacts of your addiction. You may choose to explore the roots of your addiction and any other related issues. It will always be up to you. Please reach out for a consult so we can assess whether I am the right therapist to help you move toward change and stability.

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.”

Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing Toronto suburb in York Region with a majority Chinese population in many of its newer residential developments, alongside significant South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, creating strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Farsi-speaking therapists who can work within East Asian and Iranian cultural frameworks. The city's affluent suburban character and proximity to Toronto's tech and finance economy create a population with both the means and motivation to seek therapy, though help-seeking stigma in some East Asian and Middle Eastern communities remains a consideration. Mackenzie Health provides institutional mental health resources, with many residents also accessing the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem. Richmond Hill's fast growth and relatively new development mean community ties can be shallow, and therapists frequently address social isolation and the challenge of belonging in a transient suburban environment.
