Call Craig — 1.778.840.9351Craig serves Burnaby as part of his Metro Vancouver practice.
Burnaby's proximity to Vancouver's downtown eastside and dense urban landscape create distinctive addiction challenges including high rates of fentanyl, stimulant use, and concurrent mental health disorders.
Craig works with the full spectrum of substances and mental health presentations seen in Burnaby: alcohol, fentanyl and opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, gambling, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, codependency, and concurrent disorders. He is trained to work with both youth and adults.
There are recovery coaches and there are certified counsellors. Craig is a CAC and CSUDA member — recognised designations in addiction counselling. Many interventionists operating in Metro Vancouver hold only private coaching certificates. When the stakes are this high, credentials matter.

“Seeing my daughter now in second-stage recovery is proof of the impact of his work.” — Sarah S., Google review. It starts with one call.
I was struggling with alcohol addiction, and I was not willing to get help. He talked with my family, drove all the way from Vancouver Island to Kelowna to pick me up, sat with me and talked me into going to Together We Can for treatment. Because of him, I went.
