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.

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.

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)

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
