Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Gambling can become a way to manage stress, escape painful emotions, seek excitement, or cope with difficult life circumstances. Over time, it can create secrecy, financial strain, shame, and relationship conflict. Therapy can help you understand triggers, interrupt harmful patterns, build coping strategies, and reconnect with your values and goals.

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)

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
ontrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
