Addiction Therapists in Tweed, 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.

Many turn to substances or behaviours to numb deep pain from past trauma. I provide a safe, compassionate space to explore that pain without judgment and uncover healthier ways to cope. Together, we address underlying wounds, develop emotional resilience, and build practical strategies to manage triggers. Clients leave feeling more empowered, grounded, and capable of reclaiming control, creating balance, and reconnecting with their values and life purpose.

Addiction often overtakes whole lives and keeps its victims in captivity taking away the joy and freedom. I work with you and support you to fight it off and rebuild your life. You develop skills to effectively cope with cravings, how to go through your emotions during rough time with no judgement, and keep moving forward towards healing the relationship you have with yourself and the relationships with the close ones and begin to savor the taste of life, free of addiction.

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.
