Therapists in Perth, ON

I specialize in recovery, rehabilitation and the change process. Just the word change can evoke anxiety and terror or usher in a new beginning. Change may be happening to us, or we may have to make changes for our own benefit. You know what to do, but getting started and sticking to it is hard. You may also need help with coping with the changes that have happened to you. I work with substance use, mental health, physical health and life issues. We look at how to change or cope in a way that is sustainable and sets you up for success long term. Not ready to do anything yet? Working through thinking about change can be helpful too.
