MAINTAIN RECOVERY

Hi, I'm Ryan Gilfillan and I've been passionately working in the addiction field for over seven years as an Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counsellor... This pursuit began after experiencing my own journey into recovery and learning how deeply addiction affected those closest to me. Now I dedicate my time and efforts to helping individuals and families overcome addiction and maintain recovery in their lives... My approach to recovery is a practical one, using motivational interviewing to help clients identify their strengths and barriers. I will assist in connecting individuals and their families with recovery communities, support groups and other resources. My personal experience with addiction and recovery allows me to create a safe non-judgmental space where clients develop the tools to replace old coping mechanisms with new ones. My goal is to help those suffering from addiction build recovery capital, restore relationships and a sense of purpose in their lives.
