That’s Where I Come In
Hi, I’m Tarik (t-eric), a clinical counsellor in private practice in Montreal.
I support people in finding balance beyond substance use by integrating approaches that honour their unique experiences and the cultural, historical, political, and social factors that shape their lives.

Online & In-Person
Most people have a preferred session format. To accommodate different needs, I offer online sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays, and in-person sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you’re unsure about which format would be most effective, we can try both so that you can compare how each one feels and works for you.
How We're DifferentMost counselling services do the following:
They treat either the addiction or the trauma, but not both.
They focus on short-term relief instead of long-term relief.
Many don’t have the experience or expertise to work with both simultaneously.
In a system where addiction and trauma care is hard to access, wouldn’t it be great to have one service that supports both?
