At The Tree, our counselling program works to eliminate the shame and stigma faced my mothers who struggle with substance use. We apply a trauma-informed approach, understanding that addictions to substances is usually correlated to the unmet need for coping with mental health symptoms, stress, and grief, including symptoms related to trauma responses and PTSD. Thus, our counsellor strives to uncover the root of the addiction to help our clients move towards healing and recovery through self-awareness, education, and self-compassion. Our clients are given the chance to become the best versions of themselves by learning to exchange negative associations and coping strategies for ones that are healthier and beneficial. We foster the importance of creating individualized treatment plans to best suit all our client’s needs instead of applying a ‘one shoe fits all’ approach. We have always based our programs on what are clients need most to thrive and succeed in their journey to excellence and wellness, and our counselling program is no different.
