Dr. Ishan SharmaMD, CCFP, Spec. (Hons.) BScHi 👋
I’m Dr. Ishan Sharma and I am a family physician by training with a focused practice in addiction medicine and psychotherapy. I have treated patients with addiction across the entire spectrum of both substance (alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, prescription drugs, opioids, nicotine, etc.) as well as behavioural manifestations (food, gambling, pornography, sex, love/relationships/enmeshment, work, shopping, etc.). Through my training and subsequent independent practice, I have witnessed the impact of addiction and mental health challenges at the individual, family, community, and population levels.
I also have experience helping people with their mental health more generally including symptoms of: anxiety, depression, bipolar, burnout, self-esteem issues, family-of-origin issues, emotional neglect, and more. I am passionate about helping people lessen feelings of shame, let go of feelings of fear, work through feelings of anger, and supporting them in their pursuit of a more balanced state of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
