Stephanie Campoli
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Support for anyone at any stage of recovery, whether you’re just starting to explore change or already on your way. We’ll look at what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what additional treatment options (like in-patient programs or addiction medicine) might be a good fit. The focus is always on your goals and what recovery looks like for you. I specialize in both substance use (alcohol & drugs) and behavioural addictions (gambling, gaming/tech, sexual behaviours)

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to treating problem gambling is grounded in evidence-based practices that address both the underlying drivers and the behavioural patterns that keep individuals stuck in the cycle. I begin by helping clients understand the emotional, cognitive, and situational triggers that lead to gambling urges, while teaching practical skills to reduce impulsivity and regain control. Using a blend of cognitive-behavioural strategies, motivational enhancement, and harm-reduction techniques, I supports clients in rebuilding healthier coping mechanisms, repairing financial or relational impacts, and strengthening long-term resilience. My work is collaborative, non-judgmental, and focused on empowering clients to create sustainable change at a pace that feels safe and achievable.

Sydney is the urban centre of Cape Breton Regional Municipality and the primary city on Cape Breton Island, a former industrial centre whose steel industry collapsed across the 1960s–2000s, leaving behind one of Canada's most contaminated industrial sites—the Sydney Tar Ponds—and a community that has grappled with the environmental, economic, and psychological legacy of industrial decline and contamination for generations. The Cape Breton Regional Hospital provides mental health services, and the community's tight-knit social fabric—Cape Breton is known for its Celtic cultural traditions, music, and community solidarity—provides genuine protective factors against isolation. Cape Breton University contributes to a modest growth in the regional knowledge economy alongside a student mental health dimension. Common therapy concerns include economic grief and community loss following industrial decline, environmental trauma, seasonal depression in an Atlantic climate, and the mental health challenges of a community that has shown remarkable resilience while confronting genuinely difficult circumstances.
