Addiction Therapists in Chilliwack, BC.

I accept all clients as individuals and as people first. I find that acceptance and genuineness go along way when assisting clients with an addiction. Motivational interviewing along with the stages of change help to assist with client readiness and motivation for treatment and recovery. Both the individual process along with group therapy are effective ways to help assist with consciousness raising and ongoing recovery care.

Often in life, stress, responsibility and unhappiness can lead to managing/medicating with a variety of substances; marijuana, alcohol, gambling, sex, internet, drugs, ect. This can lead to an unbalance in the usage of these substances, create a significant strain and negative affect on relationships, family, work and one self. We will work to uncover the motivating force that has driven to substance abuse and help to regain control. Through this work we will strive to regain a healthy and balanced life, free of addiction or dependency.

I see you as a person. not as an addict, so I work together with you in educating, empowering, and guiding you using motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy, relapse prevention strategies, bio-psycho-social, and other modalities of addiction treatment. Zarvina (2007) argues that, “combining and integrating individual and family treatment appears to maximize the chances for long-term successful recovery” (p.76). Therefore I offer extensive support services to family members, including: developing healthy goals, accessing community support, learning what to expect after addiction treatment and developing a deeper understanding of addiction...
