By working with the different parts of the self that may be holding onto patterns of addiction, clients can better understand the internal conflicts that contribute to their behaviours. This holistic approach promotes long-term recovery by fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and the development of healthier coping mechanisms. Through this process, clients are empowered to break free from

Often, an individual's relationship with substance use such as drugs alcohol or will change over time. For example, the person might’ve initially used it only once a while in a month as to get away from his/ her stress and have some pleasurable time, but very soon it become an everyday necessity for the user.

Have you done the bad things under the influence of substances that you wouldn’t have done if you haven't consumed? Feel free to contact to learn how counseling can help you.

An addiction is something that one reaches for (outside of themselves) on a regular basis to make themselves feel better. When the addiction results in unhealthy behavior that effects ourselves and those around us, it is time for help. One of the methods I use is the Cognitive Behavioral approach, which helps people to learn to think and feel differently in order to over come the need to reach out for something. As well Relapse Prevention and Family of Origin issues are topics often covered.

When working with clients who have addictions, it is important to understand family history, underlying triggers, and enabling factors to better manage the disease. Addiction treatment with me generally includes psychoeducation, challenging negative thought patterns, coping skill development, and relapse prevention, planning. My goal is to help clients intellectualize their substance use and improve their methods of coping so they can finally regain control over their addictions and their lives. Once clients are able, we may also work on repairing their self-image and relationships with others as these can often be damaged by addictions.

Addiction is often the surface problem, it's a way of staying away from a greater pain that is below the surface. Doing addiction counselling with me is a gentle and compassionate process of tending to the real issues below the addiction, so that there is no longer a need to engage in this harmful behaviour. When you pull out the roots of a weed, the weed will not grow back, and real change has been achieved!
