Addictions or Substance Abuse
Penelope (Penny) Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Addiction is a beast; one I have fought for most of my life, and beating it (and continuing to beat it every day) is one of the hardest things I've ever done. I'm also living proof that it can be done.
I'm different in that I'm not here to enforce any programs on you and will never judge you. I will work with who you are as a person to determine how best you can recover, on your terms.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Addiction is NOT a choice. Substance use is usually bourne out of traumatic experiences and is a coping mechanism to escape from them. As it's not a good coping mechanism, this "escape" often becomes an additional problem to deal with. To work with an addiction, the best way is to target the issues that created the addiction itself, meanwhile learning practical and realistic tools to manage the addiction and emotions. You don't have to live on a rollercoaster of shame, guilt, and regret. Change is never easy but that doesn't mean it's impossible; everything worth anything takes effort and commitment in order to achieve success. When you're finally sick and tired of the burdens and having the substances control you, let's start working to take your life back.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
From a trauma-informed perspective, addiction is understood to be a manifestation of unresolved trauma for which the addiction is a coping method. I work to help clients better understand both their addiction and their trauma, and how to resolve both by learning more healthy and helpful ways of coping and by doing trauma processing. As Gabor Mate says "do not ask why the addiction, ask why the pain".

Meera Duncan
Counsellor/Therapist, Author, Registered Counselling Therapist, Registered Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist, & Addictions Counsellor
Reaching out for help when we are struggling takes courage.
I have been working with individuals who struggle with drug and/or alcohol addiction for decades & graduated from McMaster University in Addiction Studies in 1996. These unwanted behaviours are methods of coping with negative emotions that usually stem from trauma. I have created a unique treatment protocol that combines traditional therapy methods ( counselling & CBT) with the powerful healing benefits of clinical hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis to give each client the best treatment approach. If you are ready to stop running from the pain you are working so hard to suppress and quiet, and begin your journey of a healthier happier, more peaceful life, please contact me today to take the first step towards healing.
