Substance Abuse
John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
Addiction can leave you feeling caught in a cycle you know isn't helping, yet find difficult to change. You may be struggling with alcohol, substances or behaviours that have begun affecting your relationships, confidence or everyday life. Together, we can understand what's driving the pattern, gain clarity and develop practical ways to regain greater control and move forward.

Substance Abuse
Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with both young people & adults with substance misuse/abuse issues & those with diagnosed addictive behaviour. Using motivational interviewing & elements of CBT, I work with a person-centred & strengths based approach to tailor treatment to the personal needs of the individual & their significant others. I understand that recovery can be difficult & how important it is to move at the pace of the indiviudal seeking support. I work on the basis that relapse is part of the process & as discouraging as this can be, it is important to use these set backs as a learning opportunity to better enable the individual to make recovery stick the next time around.

Substance Abuse
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Reg. Certified Practising 32932
Addiction is a physiological process. It doesn't happen because you are 'weak', 'defective', or in some way inferior. In addressing addictions, I draw upon physiology and neurobiology to understand how it happens and how it can be overcome. Acknowledging the addiction and the role it is playing in your life is often the first step in addressing what lies underneath it: for example, depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma. I then use my integrative psychotherapy approach to collaborate with you in a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
