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.

Chris Pankewich
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Working through addiction and compulsive habits can be one of the most challenging things we ever have to do. Fortunately, our knowledge and understanding of this work has shifted to a trauma-informed approach that embraces healing the unique individual who is struggling with addiction rather than the addiction itself. As a therapist, I work with clients to cultivate an environment that will allow for a deeper exploration into understanding the important role the addictive habit has been playing in your life as we seek to transform the relationship you have with yourself in the process. Schedule a free consultation with me to ensure we are a good fit.

Registered Social Worker, RSW
Substance use/ Addiction is on a continuum. It can be something we occasionally due to numb out some distressing feelings, or it can be something that we can't function without. Wherever you are on the continuum, there is always room to shift.
In therapy, we can help you gain new perspectives and learn strategies for managing your use, including exploring the areas of your life your use affects (i.e. relationships, emotions, healing, functioning, etc.). Our clinicians greet each of our clients with non-judgment and meet you where you’re at.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Substance use can often feel like the only effective way of coping with traumatic events or challenging life circumstances. I believe that therapy should open space for clients to discuss their experience with substance use and what purpose this serves in their lives. I take a de-pathologizing stance and work collaboratively with clients to explore what substance use means to them and see how this fits with their ideas and hopes for their life and future. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Contrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
