Ajoutez Kevin à votre liste — reprenez rendez-vous en deux touches

Hi, and welcome. My name is Kevin.

I know reaching out for support can feel overwhelming — especially when life feels heavy, relationships feel strained, or you’re carrying things you’ve tried to handle on your own for a long time. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard without judgment and supported with compassion, honesty, and respect.

With nearly 30 years of experience in addiction and mental health services, I work alongside adults, youth, and families facing challenges related to addiction, gambling, anxiety, stress, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and practical, helping clients feel safe enough to be real while building meaningful tools for lasting change.

En savoir plus sur KevinAfficher moins

I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, Seeking Safety, CRAFT, and family-focused addiction support. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with hope, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want to create.
