Addiction Therapists in Neebing, ON.

I work with men who are successful in the workplace and have a family, but they can see all of this slipping away if they don't address the drinking. They feel stressed and overwhelmed. Let's face it, they've never been good at expressing what's going on inside their head or finding a way to deal with emotions. It's just not something they learned in their family. They need to keep this strong exterior and persevere. This isn't going to work in the long run though. When you keeping pushing things down and finding ways to escape, it'll just pop up elsewhere. I can help you find new ways to cope; Find new ways to get things out and feel confident again (not just like you're treading water).

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 However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem.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.

Having an addiction is not a sign of weakness or lack of character. In fact, reaching out for help and being open to change takes a great deal of strength. My approach is one of openness and non-judgment. I follow a harm reduction approach meaning that I respect my clients right to set their own goals which will then guide our sessions. I appreciate that not everyone is ready to, nor wants to, work towards full sobriety. Harm reduction is about reducing the negative impact that substance use has on that person’s well-being and life. I strongly believe that any positive change is a success. If you think that my approach would work for you, please book a free consultation.
