Addiction Therapists in Belleville, ON.

Addiction is a misunderstood disease that affects both the sufferer and those who love the sufferer. People who struggle with addiction often feel overwhelmed and confused by their lack of ability to control their behaviour, as well as deep shame and frustration. Addiction therapy can help us understand the roots of addictive behaviours, the purpose they serve and other more helpful ways to meet those needs. Therapy can provide support, tailored support plans, coping strategies and resources to assist in developing a personalized recovery that works well for you.

[I OFFER VIDEO SESSIONS THROUGHOUT ALBERTA AND ONTARIO]. I know what it is like to be an addict. I have been in recovery from my addiction for several years now. I am also an international expert in this field. My American textbook called “Addictions Counseling Today: Substances and Addictive Behaviors” was published recently. I have been a practicing psychologist since 1986. If you need a competent psychologist, book now at https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=14249112

I view addiction not just as a problem but an unhelpful solution to a different problem. Often, we turn to addiction to get away from something else. It is that “something else” that we would try to understand in our sessions. We will then work to find healthier ways of coping to replace the addiction. I also specialize in helping reduce cannabis use, which may not be addictive as a substance but has addictive effects. It is never too late to start this journey.

Addiction often begins as a way to cope with pain, stress, or emptiness—but over time, it can take control of your life. At Pro Q Therapy, we help you understand the “why” behind the addiction, not just the behavior itself. Our therapists have extensive experience in residential treatment, hospital, and forensic settings, supporting clients through both early recovery and long-term healing. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed therapy, we help you rebuild self-trust, regulate emotions, and create sustainable habits for a life rooted in freedom and balance.
