Problematic substance use often develops for a variety of reasons, including social, developmental, and family factors as well as trauma and mental health concerns.
I offer a Harm Reduction approach to substance abuse problems that incorporates various aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Therapy to help adults and adolescents understand and change their problematic substance use behaviours.
I work with my clients to understand the multi-faceted origins of their unique concerns and develop a plan for managing these concerns according to their stated goals, whether that be complete abstinence or reduction of harmful use.
