Theoretical Orientation
Linda works with addictions, using psycho-educational and cognitive -behavioural theories, with an awareness and appreciation of the 12 step recovery process.

If you just set people in motion they will heal themselves
Gabrielle Roth
Linda is convinced that most people have what they need within them to heal themselves. This site is designed to help people find the information and the tools they need to start the healing process. This said, there is value in working with good community resources. The information provided should assist people to make healthy choices when looking for help.
Linda’s hope is that the information and resources available on this site will be of some help on this strange and wonderful journey through life.
