Addictions Counselling & Speciality Services

Supportive, Holistic Care for Addiction Recovery

At Authentic You: Counselling, Assessment & Addictions Services Inc., our psychologists provide specialized care for individuals navigating addictions, substance use, and other out-of-control behaviours. We understand the complexity of recovery and respect each person’s unique goals, whether that involves harm reduction, abstinence, or a combination of both.

Through individual counselling, psychoeducation, and personalized referrals, we offer support that is tailored to your needs. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that substance use and compulsive behaviours often develop as ways to cope with emotional pain, stress, or unresolved trauma. Together, we work to address the root causes while building healthier and more sustainable coping strategies.

In addition to one-on-one counselling, our team is actively engaged in the broader addictions and recovery community through consultation, mentorship, and professional training. We also support clients in connecting with external resources, including medical detox, inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, sober living options, and peer-based recovery groups such as SMART Recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Marijuana Anonymous (MA), and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Whether you are just beginning to consider change or are already on your recovery journey, our psychologists will meet you with empathy, respect, and consistent support. We are here to help you move forward with clarity, connection, and purpose
