At Rise & Shine Counselling, our goal is to help every person feel...
CONFIDENT & EMPOWERED
UNDERSTOOD & RESPECTED
SAFE & GROUNDED
"You don't have to pretend everything is okay."
Addiction can start as a way to manage stress, numb pain, or find relief. But over time, it can begin to control you. You may feel ashamed, isolated, or powerless to stop, even when you want to. Addiction can impact relationships, work, health, and your ability to feel joy. It often stems from deeper emotional pain, trauma, or unmet needs.
​
Living with addiction can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems like others don’t understand the struggle. With the right guidance and support, it’s possible to gain insight into the patterns driving substance use, regain a sense of control, and start building healthier habits that bring stability, balance, and hope back into your life.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we're here to walk beside you on your mental health journey.

ADDICTION COUNSELLING IN VANCOUVER AND BRITISH COLUMBIA
Building a Life of Freedom
Our experienced therapists guide you back to yourself—supporting healthier habits, steadier coping, and a path toward lasting change.
Addiction therapy uses evidence-based approaches to help individuals understand their patterns, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful, sustainable change. Depending on your needs, therapy may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, somatic techniques to help you reconnect with your body and reduce stress stored in the nervous system, and Narrative Therapy to support reshaping the stories you hold about yourself, your past, and your relationship with addiction.
​​
Therapists may also integrate practical tools such as craving-management strategies, grounding exercises, and values-based goal setting to help you build healthier habits you can rely on in everyday life.
​​
Reaching out for addiction support is a meaningful step toward stability, self-trust, and long-term well-being. At Rise & Shine Counselling Vancouver, our therapists work collaboratively with you and tailor each approach to your unique goals and lived experiences.

ABOUT US
Why Work With
Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness
"Where healing turns into growth, and growth turns into joy."
So often, we know deep down what we need to feel fulfilled, but something gets in the way. We fall into patterns that no longer serve us, in our relationships, our work, or how we care for ourselves. Over time, those habits quietly shape our days, and our days become our lives.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we believe that change is always possible. With the right support, you can break free from old cycles, reconnect with what truly matters, and start living in alignment with your values and goals.
​
We’re inspired by the idea that growth isn’t about becoming someone new. Rather, it’s about uncovering who you’ve been all along. Together, we’ll help you rediscover your confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose so you can rise into a life that feels grounded, intentional, and full of possibility.
