Substance Abuse
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)

Substance Abuse
Makai Livingstone
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Substance use often develops as a way of coping with pain, disconnection, or overwhelming emotion. Rather than focusing only on the behaviour, I work with you to understand what it's protecting you from and to build a relationship with yourself that doesn't require it. Using a compassionate, relational approach, we'll explore triggers, patterns, and healthier ways to cope and connect.

Moeez Munshi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying, Clinical Intern
Addictions or Substance Abuse often lives at the intersection of stress, habit, and relief-seeking. We’ll map your triggers and craving cycles, then use Motivational Interviewing and CBT to build small, sustainable changes that actually fit your life. Expect a non-shaming, harm-reduction frame and practical relapse-prevention tools. Available in person in Durham and online across Ontario.

Oshawa is an Ontario city east of Toronto whose identity has long been tied to General Motors and the automotive manufacturing industry, and the economic and psychological stresses of an industrial economy facing ongoing transformation shape the mental health needs of many residents. The city is home to Ontario Tech University, whose growing student population creates demand for young adult and student mental health services, and Durham College also provides counselling resources to its students. Common therapy concerns include workplace and financial stress, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and the challenges of living in a city navigating a significant economic identity shift. Access to Toronto's larger therapy market via GO Transit gives Oshawa residents more options than a city of its size might otherwise offer, and telehealth has further expanded the range of available practitioners.
