Addiction Support & Counselling
At The Hive, we know that addiction doesn’t just affect one person, it ripples through the whole family system. Whether you are the one struggling or you love someone who is, we provide out-patient, therapy-based support for every stage of recovery: from active use to early sobriety to long-term maintenance.
We’re not a detox or inpatient facility. We don’t provide beds, medical detox, or residential treatment. Instead, our focus is on mental health-centered, therapeutic support that helps individuals and families rebuild relationships, heal shame, understand the root of the behaviour and create a life that feels worth being present for.
We also recognize that addiction isn’t just about substances- it can include behaviours like gambling, sex, pornography, or disordered eating (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, etc.). That’s why our addictions counsellor works with all individuals impacted by addiction- and the family members who love them.
At The Hive Mental Health Services, we know that substance use isn’t the problem itself-it’s the bandaid. Drugs or alcohol often become the coping mechanism for something deeper, something harder to face. Maybe it’s unresolved trauma, unprocessed grief, relentless stress, or a sense of disconnection that feels unbearable. Substance use provides short-term relief, but in the long run it creates bigger barriers between you and the life you want.
That’s where we step in. We are not a detox or inpatient treatment facility-no beds, no admissions. Instead, we offer outpatient addiction counselling that helps you both survive the day-to-day struggles and dig deep into the roots of your substance use. Our counsellors walk with you through building practical skills, processing painful experiences, and stripping the substance of its power over your life.
Our approach is multi-faceted and person-centered. We use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), strength-based counselling, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered approaches. This means you’ll get support that is tailored to your unique journey-not a one-size-fits-all program.
At The Hive, we work with individuals in active use, early recovery, and long-term sobriety, as well as the family members who are impacted. Whether you’re just starting to think about change, or you’ve been sober for years and still feel stuck in the mental load of addiction, we’re here to help.
Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation, our addiction support also includes family counselling. Loved ones can be part of recovery, whether that means learning boundaries, processing the impact of addiction, or finding ways to reconnect after years of strain.
We provide substance use counselling in Saskatoon and virtually across Saskatchewan to ensure support is accessible to anyone who needs it. You don’t have to wait until things “get bad enough.” Healing can start now.
Counselling & Therapy That Addressed
Substance Use
Confidential & Professional Counselling To Help You
Understand & Heal From Sex & Porn Addictions
At The Hive Mental Health Services, there is no shame, no blame, and no judgement. We understand that sex and pornography addiction doesn’t mean you’re “bad” or “perverse”. What it really means is that some of your physical, emotional, or mental needs are unmet and the brain has found a way to cope, even if it’s not serving you long-term.
Our counsellors work alongside you to uncover what need is going unmet and help you discover realistic, healthy, and safe ways to meet it. Instead of focusing only on “stopping the behaviour,” we dig deeper, exploring identity, relationships, and the patterns that have you repeating patterns.
We also know that habits and temptations show up in real life, every day. That’s why our approach balances day-to-day practical strategies with long-term healing. We help you manage triggers, cravings, and patterns so that real change feels possible and sustainable-not just a quick fix that can’t be maintained outside of sessions.
At The Hive, our treatment for sex and porn addiction is multi-layered and person-centered. We draw on:
Behavioural therapies to address habits and build healthier coping strategies.
Somatic therapies to reconnect body and mind, and regulate overwhelming emotions.
Identity and trauma-focused modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore self-identity, attachment, and childhood influences that shape current struggles.
We work with individuals at every stage of recovery, from those just beginning to question whether their relationship with sex or pornography is harmful, to those who have already started their healing journey but want deeper support.
Whether you’re an individual seeking help or a partner impacted by sex or porn addiction, you’re welcome here. We provide confidential sex and porn addiction counselling in Saskatoon and online across Saskatchewan, making it easier to access the support you need without fear or stigma.
Because when needs are met in healthy ways, freedom and true connection become possible.
Gambling can start out feeling fun, exciting, or even like a way to solve financial stress. But when the wins don’t come-or when the cycle of chasing losses takes over-it can leave you feeling trapped, ashamed, and financially overwhelmed.
At The Hive Mental Health Services, we understand that gambling is rarely “just about gambling.” For many people, it’s an escapism coping strategy-a way to numb, distract, or soothe when life feels too heavy. Whether it’s the at-your-fingertips convenience of online gambling or the pull of a casino carefully designed to feel enchanting, gambling can quickly shift from entertainment into dependence.
We take a non-judgmental, practical, and whole-person approach to gambling addiction counselling. Together, we work on:
Uncovering the “why” behind the gambling-exploring what emotions, stressors, or unmet needs are fuelling the habit.
Building healthier coping strategies that address those underlying struggles without the crash-and-burn cycle.
Day-to-day habit management -learning real tools to manage cravings, reduce risks, and regain control.
We also recognize that finances play a major role in gambling addiction. A lack of financial literacy, shame around money, or fear of “never getting out of debt” can keep people stuck in the cycle. That’s why we include practical financial education, resources, and referrals to other welcoming organizations, as part of our counselling process. Our team can connect you with trusted community supports for budgeting, debt management, and financial crisis recovery-so you’re not just emotionally supported, but financially set up for a fresh start.
We walk with you from the first steps of recognizing a gambling problem to long-term recovery and maintenance. We also provide support for family members impacted by gambling addiction, because we know the ripple effects reach beyond the individual.
If you’re ready to stop feeling powerless and start building confidence, control, and financial freedom, our team is here. We offer gambling addiction counselling in Saskatoon and online across Saskatchewan.

Real Tools For Gambling Addiction Recovery
Counselling & Therapy That Focuses On
A Healthy Relationship With Food
At The Hive, we know that food can be complicated, messy, and emotional. Sometimes it becomes a way to cope, self-soothe, or even self-harm. Maybe it’s a quick dopamine fix, a habit that helps you manage overwhelm, or a pattern that shows up alongside ADHD, anxiety, or stress. Whatever the reason, you deserve support and understanding, not judgment.
Disordered eating can flare in ways that make life feel impossible:
Family comments that linger long after they’re said
Holiday dinners and group meals that trigger anxiety
Comparing yourself to others (yes, even that cousin on Instagram)
Stress, transitions, or unresolved emotional pain
We take a multi-layered, Hive-approved approach to help you untangle these patterns:
Behavioural strategies (CBT, DBT) to manage triggers and habits
Somatic therapy to reconnect with your body and regulate emotions
Identity work (IFS, narrative therapy) to explore self-image, childhood experiences, and the story you tell yourself
Everything we do is person-centered and strength-based, because you already have the resilience and resources inside you-we help you recognize, build on, and use them.
We support individuals struggling with:
Anorexia: restrictive behaviours, perfectionism, and control
Bulimia: cycles of binging and purging, guilt, and shame
Binge Eating Disorder: feeling out of control with food, emotional eating, and body dissatisfaction
Families are part of the Hive too. We work with loved ones impacted by disordered eating so everyone can find understanding, connection, and healthier patterns together.
Our counselling is outpatient, mental health-focused, and is also available virtually across Saskatchewan, so you can access help from anywhere without judgement or disrupting your life with a stay.
