ADDICTION AND SUBSTANCE USE THERAPY AT NEW TIDES COUNSELLING

Counselling for Addiction and Substance Use

Like many of us, this page is a work in progress!

More info is coming soon, but in the meantime please connect with us via the button below if you have any questions, or to connect with Hannah or Mercedes, who specializes in substance use counselling and addiction concerns.

In counselling, we will work together to address issues related to substance use you may experience, such as:

 

  • Anxiety, Depression, and shame

  • intrusive thoughts about substances or your coping mechanism of choice

  • compulsion of feeling loss of control

  • Feeling stuck or lost, or feeling angry about not being able to move forward

 

We will also work together to explore and address the root challenges that often show up as the underlying reason, including

 

  • social anxiety

  • grief & unresolved sadness

  • relational loss, challenge or trauma

  • burnout or ongoing pressure/responsibilities

  • a sense of shame or worthlessness in who you are

  • challenges feeling difficult emotions or stress

  • childhood trauma or family of origin challenges

 

Regardless of the origin, we will work together to leave you feeling more self-aware, less stuck, and feeling empowered to move forward with more agency in the choices you make. We hope to guide you toward feeling more connected to what is important to you and your ability to show up as the person you desire and know you can be, free of substances or addictive patterns.
