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.

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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
At Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center, we approach substance use with compassion and clarity. We understand that addiction is often rooted in pain, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and unmet needs rather than simply willpower or choice. Our work focuses on uncovering the underlying patterns driving substance use, strengthening coping and regulation skills, and rebuilding trust within oneself and relationships. We provide a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their story, develop sustainable recovery strategies, and move toward lasting freedom and stability.

Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I have worked extensively with all forms of addiction for over 22 years. Always at the root of any addiction is unresolved emotional wounding or trauma. I work to de-shame the addictive behaviour; understanding that it has been used as a resource to cope with deep emotional pain. I work on fostering self-compassion and offer deep healing of the core issues where the addiction began, each therapeutic response tailored to the uniqueness of each persons addictive behaviour. Through a combination of body centred psychotherapy, practical behavioural tools, and the use of outside supportive resources where needed, most addictions can be resolved or navigated so that one can thrive again in their life.
