Our Approach

We provide evidence-based, holistic mental health treatment that addresses the whole person. Treatment recommendations include attending to your physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual health.

We also strongly believe in addressing the root cause of your mental health symptoms and this includes thoroughly assessing for the presence of any substance or behavioural habits that may be causing or exacerbating your symptoms, as well as gradually exploring your relationship patterns.

Our values are honesty, openness, willingness to try differently, compassion, mutual respect, confidentiality, and understanding.

We believe in a supportive, self-management model of care that empowers patients with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to better support their needs, while providing comprehensive, and longitudinal professional care.

Our clinic does not prescribe medications.

Hi 👋

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.
