Addiction is almost always a result of underlying mental health issues. The vast majority of our clients suffer from various forms of trauma, which provoke anxiety, depression, and other conditions that evoke addictive behaviours. 

​

Psychotherapy is the best way to help a client open their mind and explore the roots of their addictive behaviours. Therapies offered include:

 

• CBT to help with “stuck” thoughts

• DBT to help with self-regulation and interpersonal relationships

• Narrative Therapy to re-frame self-perception

• Hypnotherapy to reinforce motivation

• Psychodynamic therapies such as EFT, IFS, and Memory Reconsolidation                                                              to tackle PTSD and other effects of trauma. 

​

For most of our clients, psychotherapy is the key to a long-lasting recovery from the suffering that leads to addiction. Our therapists are graduate students and post-graduate volunteers working alongside our other clinical staff, under a Registered Psychotherapist with qualifications to provide clinical supervision either in-person or remotely.

Exciting News!

​

St. Michael’s Homes has recently received a $75,000 grant from Toronto Community Foundations, funded by ECSF. This will allow us to hire a Registered Psychotherapist to provide extra support throughout COVID-19.

Due to the many closures of outside services throughout the pandemic, this will allow us to ensure that both our staff and our clients receive the necessary supports.
