Substance Abuse
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
I view addictive patterns as powerful survival strategies—often, they are a 'part' of you trying to manage unbearable emotional pain. My perspective is shaped by over a decade of international experience, having worked on the frontlines of drug and alcohol agencies and homeless shelters in both the UK and Canada.
This background allows me to meet you with deep compassion and zero judgment. We won't just focus on the behavior; we will address the underlying trauma and early relationships that made these substances feel like a necessity. Together, we work to help your 'parts' find safer ways to cope, moving you toward a life of stability and genuine choice.

Substance Abuse
Anthony De Lemos Kawka
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Addiction is more than a behavior — it’s often rooted in emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs. I offer nonjudgmental support to help you understand the underlying causes of addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and work toward lasting recovery and self-empowerment. Substance use can be both a symptom and a source of deeper distress. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the role substances play in their lives, offering support, accountability, and tools for change in a respectful, person-centered environment.

Substance Abuse
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

Friends2go
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.

Québec City's strongly Francophone identity makes it one of the most linguistically distinct therapy markets in Canada — French-language therapy is the standard, and access to English-speaking practitioners is limited, creating real challenges for anglophone and allophone residents. The city's role as Quebec's provincial capital means a significant public service workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of institutional careers, political identity, and bureaucratic work. CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale provides the public mental health infrastructure, with a private therapy community serving Sainte-Foy, Haute-Ville, and Limoilou. The city's deeply Catholic heritage means many clients seek therapists who can hold nuanced conversations about faith, tradition, and personal change.
