Gambling, Drugs, Alcohol, Sex
At KDW Therapy, we support individuals and couples in Sarnia as they navigate the impact of addiction on their relationships. Our work focuses on rebuilding trust, strengthening communication, and addressing the emotional and relational roots of behaviours such as gambling, sex, drug, and alcohol addiction.
Using a trauma-informed, person-centred, and compassion-focused approach, we integrate CBT, mindfulness, parts-based work, and somatically oriented therapeutic practices to create a safe and supportive space for healing. Together, we help you understand underlying patterns, foster accountability, and reconnect with greater empathy, clarity, and emotional resilience.
