Substance Use Therapy in Toronto

Living in Toronto can come with constant stressors: busy schedules, financial pressure, and the demands of city life. For some, alcohol or substances may become a way of coping, but over time, this can create new challenges. Whether you’re working toward recovery, moderation, or simply understanding your relationship with substances, support is available.

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide online substance use therapy for clients in Toronto and across Ontario, creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your goals and find healthier ways to cope.

Signs Substance Use May Be Impacting Your Life

You may benefit from therapy if you are:

• Using alcohol or substances to cope with stress or emotions

• Struggling to cut back, even when you want to

• Feeling guilt, shame, or secrecy around substance use

• Experiencing strain in relationships due to drinking or drug use

• Noticing changes in health, mood, or energy

• Feeling like substances are controlling your choices or routines

How Substance Use Therapy Helps

Our therapists use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Somatic Therapy, and trauma-informed care, to help you:

• Understand your patterns of use without judgment

• Build healthier coping strategies for stress and triggers

• Strengthen motivation for recovery or moderation

• Process underlying trauma or emotional pain

• Reconnect with your values and goals

• Develop relapse-prevention tools and resilience

Therapy is about meeting you where you are — not forcing one path. We support abstinence, harm reduction, or moderation, depending on your goals.
