Whitney Ricard Therapy
Psychotherapy & Addictions Counselling
My aim is to provide a warm and compassionate space where you feel supported in exploring your emotions, understanding their origins, and developing effective strategies to navigate life’s challenges. Often, it is during our most difficult moments or in the face of unfair circumstances that our core beliefs and behaviors take shape. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes of your struggles, set meaningful and achievable goals, and create a treatment plan that is clear, practical, and tailored to you. I am here to support you every step of the way as you heal, grow, and build confidence in your ability to live a life that feels fulfilling, purposeful, and deeply meaningful.
Psychotherapy & Addiction
Psychotherapy is one way you can seek help if you believe you have a problem. It can also benefit you if you’re struggling with emotional difficulties, life challenges, and mental health concerns. Therapy offers a safe place to talk about and process issues which may be contributing to problems in your life.
Addiction is a complex process where problematic patterns of behaviour can interfere with quality of life. Addiction can be either substance related (such as marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, opiates, etc.) or behavioural (such as gambling, internet, video games, sex, pornography etc.). This can be isolating, frightening, and confusing, but there are many supports and treatment options available. There is hope.
