Addiction Therapists in Rocky View County, AB.

I will work with you to understand the underlying emotional and psychological factors contributing to your addiction. I employ a harm-reduction approach to substance abuse treatment as opposed to complete and sudden abstinence. I will work with you to build effective coping strategies, heal trauma and provide techniques which will help you navigate the stress and complexity of long-term recovery.

Addiction is often less about the substance or behaviour itself and more about the underlying needs it has been meeting. In our work together, I take a non-judgmental and collaborative approach, focusing on understanding what is driving the pattern and what purpose it has served. We explore triggers, emotional regulation, and the cycles that maintain addictive behaviours, while also building practical coping strategies and healthier alternatives. Clients often benefit from increased self-awareness, greater control over impulses, and the development of more sustainable ways to manage stress, emotions, and life challenges without relying on the addiction.

Addiction can feel overwhelming, not only for the individual struggling, but for the relationships and systems around them. Whether substance use or behavioural patterns have become a way to cope with stress, trauma, or emotional pain, Renee provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can begin to explore change without shame. Recovery is not linear, and setbacks do not equal failure.

Our Registered Christian Addictions Counselling can help you set love in order and you can truly live again!

I help clients with addictions using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a research-based form of therapy in which I am certified. Strategies include avoiding high-risk situations and activities, managing urges and emotions, thinking of the benefits of staying on track and the downsides of using, and countering permission-giving thoughts.

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.

I have deep experience helping individuals navigate addictions using twelve-step supportive therapy in a safe virtual space. Together, we explore behaviors and underlying factors while cultivating self-awareness, accountability, and healthy coping skills. My approach focuses on building resilience, fostering growth, and sustaining recovery in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. Online sessions provide flexibility and security while allowing clients to engage fully with the twelve-step framework and create meaningful, long-term change.

For every woman, the first step towards freedom from addiction is always the step of coming to believe in freedom and to believe that freedom is possible. We can show you a way out of the guilt and away from the shame that keeps you from the love your heart longs for. Reject the lie that you will always be an addict, reclaim your ability to know truth and choose life!

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!
