Addiction Therapists in Fruitvale, BC.

Counselling can help you to learn strategies to challenge urges and eventually overcome addictions. Within this safe space, there is also the opportunity to explore what life events influenced the development of the addiction and factors are maintaining it. Support is provided to clients as they identify and make changes to remove triggers and improve coping skills.

Working through addiction can be a raw and difficult process, that often reveals the pain that the addiction was helping to disguise. My approach to treating addiction applies cognitive awareness and mindfulness strategies to managing and reducing addictive tendencies and impulses. Addiction tends to thrive in isolation, so having a guide to help anticipate the struggle of addiction, identify and exercise strategies that are clinically effective in relief of addiction, and trauma.

Addiction counselling with me involves taking the time to unpack the dynamics that contribute to coping through addiction. With me you can expect a non-judgmental space, and to move at a pace you are comfortable with. Together we will take a compassionate and curious approach, locating strengths and supports and practicing mindfulness to grow in a sense of agency in decision making.

I am adept at support clients in finding the root of their addiction whether it be trauma or challenges with emotional regulation. Addictive behaviour always makes sense. Unfortunately, there is still so much shame, judgement and misunderstanding when it comes to addiction. I will help you make sense of your addictive behaviour and achieve freedom.

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.
