My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In addressing the challenges of addictions or substance abuse, I offer a holistic and personalized approach, grounded in compassion and understanding. Incorporating Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I work alongside clients to explore the root causes of addiction, foster emotional resilience, and develop effective coping strategies. This comprehensive method allows us to address both the behavioral aspects of substance abuse and its underlying emotional and psychological dimensions. By focusing on self-awareness and self-compassion, I help clients build a foundation for lasting recovery, guiding them towards healthier habits and thought patterns. Our journey together is designed to empower individuals to regain control of their lives, making positive changes that support both sobriety and overall well-being. For those seeking a path out of addiction and towards a more fulfilling life, I am here to support your steps towards healing and self-discovery, offering the tools and insights needed for transformation.

Addictions or 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.

I provide an understanding, judgment-free space to talk about substance use and the compulsions that lead to addiction. We will collaboratively investigate the underlying causes behind these behaviors and start to build healthier strategies into your life. Methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy, we’ll work on reducing the impact of triggers, bringing calm to the nervous system, and building resilience. My goal is to support you in achieving lasting change and a life aligned with your values.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
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".
