How we help

    Addiction and recovery

    Addiction and recovery therapy in Toronto

    Substance use and recovery can affect identity, relationships, trust, stability, and everyday life. Therapy is a place to talk openly about patterns of use, what recovery has looked like, worries about relapse, and how it all lands on the people close to you.

    What may bring you here

    • Concerns about your substance use
    • Early recovery
    • Longer-term recovery and the questions that arise later
    • Relapse and what it means
    • Effects of substance use on a relationship
    • Support for partners and family members
    • Rebuilding trust and stability
    • Trauma that sits alongside substance use

    What therapy can include

    • A steady conversation about your history and what is happening now
    • Understanding the context around use, including stress, trauma, and relationships
    • Work on identity and meaning in recovery
    • Couples or partner sessions where appropriate
