Frequently Asked Questions

At Metamorphosis, all clients receive 2 individual psychotherapy sessions PER WEEK, administrated by a Master’s level registered therapist. Plus a one on one counseling session with an addictions counselor. What distinguishes their roles is the difference in education, training, experience and professional accountability. A therapist enables you to tackle deep trauma and unresolved issues that fuel your addiction. A counsellor helps you go through your work book and handle emotional distress during your recovery process with healthy habits on a daily/weekly basis. Besides individual therapy sessions, all clients have 24/7, unlimited access to registered Addiction Counsellors for support and mentoring
