Colin Longworth - HPCCH Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Psychology & Counselling Services
Psychologist, MAPS, B Psych ECowan, GradDipCounselMurdoch,
In the case of addictions, I will often look at what came first, the Addiction or Substance Abuse or the problems or difficulties that may flow from that? I would also look at what has been tried before, to seek to deal with the substance abuse or addiction?

Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
The misuse of alcohol and other drugs can have a damaging impact on individuals, families and communities. Therapies we utilise include behavioural therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing. We look at at the whole person to support, evaluate and treat as well as any co-occurring mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Daniel Martin
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, MAPS, MAAPi (AU), LPC (USA), NCC, CAIMHP
For the substance abuse crowd my default mode is to go with a 12-step model since that is what many of the treatment programs I have worked in used. Though for those more on the earlier stages of addiction I may work with clients on switching back to responsible use. I am a Certified Addiction Informed Mental Health Professional.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with both young people & adults with substance misuse/abuse issues & those with diagnosed addictive behaviour. Using motivational interviewing & elements of CBT, I work with a person-centred & strengths based approach to tailor treatment to the personal needs of the individual & their significant others. I understand that recovery can be difficult & how important it is to move at the pace of the indiviudal seeking support. I work on the basis that relapse is part of the process & as discouraging as this can be, it is important to use these set backs as a learning opportunity to better enable the individual to make recovery stick the next time around.
