Addictions or Substance Abuse

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Have you been having a hard time coping with stress and unpleasant emotions? Do you feel on edge? Has using substances been helpful in this regard? Would you rather drink or smoke when you want to and not because you feel you need to? If so, then please reach out. Often substance misuse is a bandaid solution to deeper feelings, experiences and thoughts and feelings that long to be explored. Together, with your therapist, you can develop other coping skills so that you do not feel as dependent on ways of coping that may not be serving you anymore. Reach out today to work with Vade who has extensive experience in addictions, trauma, family systems, hypnotherapy, and inner child work. We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.

Burlington, Ontario therapist: Michelle Directo, registered psychotherapist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

"Not all addictions are rooted in abuse or trauma, but I do believe they can all be traced to painful experience. A hurt is at the centre of all addictive behaviours". - Gabor Mate, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction Addiction or substance use is not an identity but a behaviour, a way for us to cope with our hurt and pain. There is often guilt and shame associated with addictive behaviours. My hope is that we can work together to access resources, understand the addictive/substance use behaviour and find ways to to help you manage the risks of substance use.

Pickering, Ontario therapist: Iryna Gavrysh, registered psychotherapist
Addictions or Substance Abuse

Iryna Gavrysh

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with individuals who find themselves leaning on substances like alcohol and drugs or behaviors, such as sex or gambling, as a way of coping through the ups and downs of life. My clients often discover that this is no longer serving them and they want to find new and healthier ways of coping. This is possible and opens the door to greater connection with themselves and deeper and more satisfying relationships with their loved ones.

Brantford, Ontario therapist: Molly Heffernan, registered social worker
Addictions or Substance Abuse

Molly Heffernan

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Addictions (substance use disorders) are not a free choice. Nobody is born, hoping to grow up depending on a substance to cope and/or survive. Addictions often serve as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions and life's many challenges. They can be an attempt to fill a void, numb pain, or manage stress. If you or someone you live is struggling, please know that this is not a sign of weakness or failure -- rather, it's a way that human has adapted to survive how hard life can be. Healing and recovery are possible, and taking this first step is a huge act of courage.
