Individual Psychotherapy
Individual therapy for substance use disorders offers a personalized, supportive approach to overcoming addiction. In these one-on-one sessions, we will work together to explore the underlying causes of substance use, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Through evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), you will gain insight into your behaviours, identify triggers, and learn to manage urges and negative emotions. Our approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental, empowering individuals to create meaningful change and rediscover their sense of purpose and well-being.

Skills Group
Skills-based groups for addiction offer a supportive and structured environment to help individuals build coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and make empowered choices about their substance use. Grounded in evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, MI, and ACT, these groups focus on developing practical tools to manage cravings, reduce harm, and navigate triggers. Participants benefit not only from learning new skills, but also from connecting with others who understand their experiences—fostering a sense of community and accountability.

Assessment
Our clinic offers psychodiagnostic assessments to evaluate for Substance Use Disorders. These assessments are designed to provide diagnostic clarity and inform individualized treatment planning. Through a comprehensive clinical interview, standardized measures, and collateral information (when appropriate), we assess the impact of substance use on psychological, emotional, and daily functioning. This service is ideal for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their substance use patterns and those looking to guide next steps in treatment or recovery.
