Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist who supports individuals and couples through an addiction-informed lens. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their relationship with substances, behaviors, and coping patterns with honesty and curiosity.
My work focuses on understanding the underlying needs and experiences that drive addictive patterns, including unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and unhelpful beliefs. I help clients build self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways of coping that align with their values.
I also support clients in fostering authentic connection within themselves and their relationships, improving communication, and approaching parenting and life’s challenges with confidence and calm. My goal is to help clients move beyond shame and survival-based patterns toward lives grounded in meaning, resilience, and genuine connection.

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.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It can be hard to know where to begin when dealing with addiction because its roots can run deep into the fabric of our lives. When working with individuals who experience addictions, I first seek to understand and appreciate each person’s story and work to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where healing can begin. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have helped me to understand the healing power of compassion, acceptance and encouragement. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed perspective, addiction is understood to be a manifestation of unresolved trauma for which the addiction is a coping method. I work to help clients better understand both their addiction and their trauma, and how to resolve both by learning more healthy and helpful ways of coping and by doing trauma processing. As Gabor Mate says "do not ask why the addiction, ask why the pain".

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Addiction is a way of coping with your pain. It is a medication that is self destructive. I will help you befriend and become conscious of the origins of your pain. You will learn how to listen to your feelings rather than run away from them. We will work together to give you different coping devices. I will help you see yourself in a way that you can have compassion for who you are and what happened to you rather than be unkind and cruel to yourself.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Cindy Jennings
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Addiction rarely affects just one person—it impacts the entire relationship. When your partner struggles with alcohol or substance use, you may find yourself trying to manage the chaos, protect the relationship, or prevent things from getting worse. Over time this can lead to exhaustion, resentment, confusion, and a sense that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change.
I specialize in supporting partners and spouses of people living with addiction. Together we explore how addiction is affecting your relationship and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Many partners feel responsible for fixing the problem or worry that setting limits will make things worse. Therapy can help you develop healthier ways of responding while also protecting your own well-being.
Using approaches such as the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model, I help partners learn practical strategies to communicate more effectively, support positive change, and reduce the cycle of conflict and crisis that addiction often creates.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Support can help you regain your footing, strengthen your voice, and find more constructive ways to navigate addiction within the relationship.

Addictions or 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.

Nicole Prisciak
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
My work with clients navigating substance use focuses on understanding the emotional pain or unmet needs behind the behaviour. Together, we build safety, self-compassion, and healthier coping strategies, without shame or judgment. I take a trauma-informed, person-centred approach that acknowledges the role of past experiences in shaping our present patterns and honours each person’s autonomy in their healing.
