Serving Parksville

Addiction & mental health intervention in Parksville.

Craig serves Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and the mid-Island corridor as part of his Vancouver Island practice.

The Parksville-Qualicum area has a growing population and limited local addiction intervention resources. Craig serves families here directly as part of his Vancouver Island coverage.

He is trained to work with both youth and adults.

What Craig Treats in Parksville

Counsellor vs Coach — why it matters in Parksville

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 Vancouver Island hold only private coaching certificates. When the stakes are this high, credentials matter.

Why now

Waiting feels safe. It isn’t.

Addiction gets worse with time. In BC, about five people a day died from toxic drugs in 2025 (BC Coroners Service). Rock bottom is not always a place people come back from.

Why Craig

You may get one real chance.

Done badly, an intervention pushes people away. Craig has led hundreds. He knows what to say when they argue, bargain or walk out, and he has treatment ready so a yes means help that day.

There is hope

People do come back.

“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.
