Addiction Therapists in Georgetown, ON.

I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to explore the underlying factors contributing to their addictive behaviors. Through a combination of evidence-based modalities such as Motivational Interviewing and CBT, I assist clients in developing healthier coping strategies, identifying triggers, and building a strong support system. By addressing the root causes of addiction, clients can experience increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced resilience. Together, we work towards fostering long-term recovery, restoring personal well-being, and empowering clients to live fulfilling lives free from the grip of addiction.

Contrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.
