Substance Abuse
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
As a specialist in Addictions and Substance Abuse, I have over 35 years clean and sober myself. I believe that even though there is brain involvement in addictive behaviours, addiction is primarily a choice that people make to not have to deal with the reality of their situations - and that the addict can make a different choice. Family members often don't understand the difference between ENABLING and HELPING when they try to support the addicts they love. When families can stop enabling their addict and start helping instead, the addict then has a better chance of recovery from addiction. When addiction is in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal.

Substance Abuse
The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
I support individuals navigating challenges with substance use from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed perspective. Rather than viewing addiction as a personal failure, I understand it as a coping response—often rooted in stress, emotional pain, or past experiences. My goal is to help you explore the underlying patterns and needs that substance use may be meeting, while gently building healthier, more sustainable ways of coping.
Using a blend of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, we work together to increase awareness of triggers, reduce cravings, and strengthen your ability to respond differently in moments of stress. I also support clients in rebuilding their relationship with themselves—fostering self-compassion, emotional resilience, and a sense of control.
Whether you are looking to reduce use, maintain recovery, or better understand your relationship with substances, this space is designed to meet you where you are. Change doesn’t happen through shame—it happens through awareness, support, and intentional steps forward.

Margo Green
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)
I have pursued further education about Smart Recovery and have taken courses in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and addiction pharmacology to better support SUD /AUD and addiction. I also understand and support interested clients through their use of twelve step programs.
The various challenges around food, eating and weight are other areas that I have extra training to support clients with. Through psychotherapy, I support the emotional, cognitive and behavioural aspects of food and weight-related struggles.
