    Client G

  • "Tracey Stark came into my life in 2015 and has been an empowering role model to me ever since. She goes above and beyond, demonstrating how much she truly cares about her clients. One on one work with Tracey has given me so much more confidence than I’ve ever had. Shortly after meeting her, I began to realize my worth, realize what I am capable of, and know that I have the power to succeed. I could never thank Tracey enough for teaching me crucial life skills that will carry on through the rest of my life and aid in my recovery. To anyone in need of assistance with any mental health related issues, I would suggest working with Tracey in a heartbeat. She changes lives for the better — I have seen it repeatedly through her work with not only myself, but with my friends and other clients."

    Client M

  • "With a wealth of current experience, knowledge and treatment approaches Tracey was able to take a balanced approach to helping our family. Using a resiliency model, Tracey navigated referrals for resources for our entire family and our daughter, including treatment referrals, medical care and housing. Tracey has a clear and direct approach and was able to reach out to our daughter and maintain consistent contact to support her throughout her journey home and back to school."

    Client (Parent) J

  • "Tracey Stark is an Addictions Counsellor extraordinaire. She used innovative and time tested strategies to help motivate my daughter who seemed permanently stuck in her cycle of addiction. I was amazed by the behavioral changes I saw in my daughter after working with Tracey. No one else connected with my daughter and stuck with her through thick and thin the way Tracey did."
