Substance Abuse
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Substance use can become a way to cope with anxiety, stress, trauma, emotional pain, loneliness, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Over time, it may start creating shame, secrecy, relationship strain, or a sense of being stuck in patterns that no longer fit your values. In therapy, we can explore the role substances have been playing in your life and work toward greater awareness, emotional regulation, and more intentional choices. My approach is compassionate, non-shaming, and grounded in helping you move toward a life that feels more steady, meaningful, and aligned with what matters to you.

Kirsty Matthews
Counsellor/Therapist, MA CCC
Your addiction is protecting you from something. Often it helps to explore the question: what are you not wanting to feel ? Together we can unpack what the root cause of your addiction is, and find ways to help you confront these challenges head on. You are not alone, and you do not need to go through this recovery journey on your own.

The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
I support individuals navigating challenges with substance use from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed perspective. Rather than viewing addiction as a personal failure, I understand it as a coping response—often rooted in stress, emotional pain, or past experiences. My goal is to help you explore the underlying patterns and needs that substance use may be meeting, while gently building healthier, more sustainable ways of coping.
Using a blend of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, we work together to increase awareness of triggers, reduce cravings, and strengthen your ability to respond differently in moments of stress. I also support clients in rebuilding their relationship with themselves—fostering self-compassion, emotional resilience, and a sense of control.
Whether you are looking to reduce use, maintain recovery, or better understand your relationship with substances, this space is designed to meet you where you are. Change doesn’t happen through shame—it happens through awareness, support, and intentional steps forward.

Counsellor/Therapist, addiction and mental Health , psychosocial intervention , anxiety and stress management
A substance use disorder is more than a physical dependence on drugs or alcohol. Even after detox, when your body is no longer dependent, you’re at high risk for relapse. Certain psychological and social factors can be powerful triggers that lead to relapse:
Stress, especially sudden life stresses
Cues in the environment, like visiting a neighborhood
Social networks, like spending time with friends who continue to use
These things can create a strong ongoing urge to use again. Counseling helps you escape cravings and learn to manage what life throws at you without drugs or alcohol.

Rose laure Agbazan
Hypnotherapist, Clinical hypnotherapist, Clinical Aromatherapist CAHP
Addictive patterns often begin as protection. Instead of fighting yourself, we gently explore what you’ve been trying to soothe. From there, we build inner safety so you don’t have to escape your own emotions anymore.
