Substance Abuse
Zlata Kovaltchouk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RPC, RP
Gain a deeper understanding of your addiction patterns and the function these behaviours serve when it comes to emotional management. Learn more effective ways to connect with and manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and begin taking steps towards what really matters in life. Address other issues commonly associated with addiction, such as anxiety and social anxiety, stress, low self esteem, ineffective communication, trauma, and poor coping skills. Focus is placed on beginning to build a richer and more meaningful life and to develop a better relationship with the self, rather than focusing on sobriety and abstinence primarily. Get better at creating the kind of life where substances no longer play an important role.

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.

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.

Substance Abuse
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
You've probably tried to quit many times, only to pick up your addiction again. We tend to develop addictions to ease the pain of trauma or neglect. Gabor Maté suggests that, if we want to treat the addiction, we have to treat the trauma. This allows us to get to the root of the problem, rather than simply trying to stop harmful behaviours through willpower. Bringing healing to our wounds can bring lasting recovery from the power of addiction.

Mostly all addictions root from trauma. My approach is to work with the root of the issues.
