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.

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 However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem.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.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Emotion-focused, CBT, motivational interviewing-informed strategies, trauma-informed care.
I explore what emotional needs, stressors, or experiences may be contributing to substance use or other addictive behaviours. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness of triggers, developing healthier coping strategies, and strengthening motivation for change. When a higher level of addiction treatment is required, I support appropriate referral and collaborative care.

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.
