Addictions or Substance Abuse

Shannon Kane

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP, C.R.P.O, H.B.A, M.A.C.P
Addiction is often a way of coping with unresolved emotions, trauma, or deep-seated struggles. I provide a judgment-free and supportive space where clients can explore the underlying causes of their substance use and build healthier coping strategies. Using IFS, EMDR, and Mindfulness, I help individuals address cravings, emotional regulation, and behavioral patterns, guiding them toward sustainable recovery and self-empowerment.

Toronto, Ontario therapist: LifeCycle Counselling, registered psychotherapist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

LifeCycle Counselling

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
Addiction counselling sessions can explore the reasons why the addiction happened such as the behaviour and the motivations of the person. This then helps the individual to become more aware of their actions and understand themselves better. This is very important in the process of recovery.

Hamilton, Ontario therapist: Sonya Sethi-Rankin: Healing Matters Psychotherapy and Wellness, registered psychotherapist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

Sonya Sethi-Rankin: Healing Matters Psychotherapy and Wellness

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RSSW
Addiction isn’t just about substances — it’s about pain, disconnection, and survival. After thirty years of working in both public and private sectors, I’ve seen how addiction often begins as a way to cope with what feels unbearable. Over time, it becomes a cycle that hides pain rather than heals it. Therapy is a space to look beneath the surface — to understand what drives the need to escape, and to rebuild the capacity to feel, connect, and choose differently. My approach is compassionate, direct, and grounded in experience. Healing from addiction isn’t about perfection or willpower; it’s about reclaiming your relationship with yourself, one moment of awareness at a time.

Kitchener, Ontario therapist: Michael Greene, registered psychotherapist
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.
