About Me
Hi, I am Marj Wilkie. I am a Certified Addictions Counsellor and Life Coach. I have spent the last few years working for Canadian Mental Health Association. I have worked as Addiction Support, Case Manager/Counsellor.
I have worked in Specialized housing programs specific to Mental Health such as Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, Borderline Personality Disorder, and severe Anxiety and Depression disorders.
My true passion is helping individuals navigate addiction and recovery. Being able to witness and be a part of such a transformation is a privilege that I truly cherish.
In order to support my clients to the best of my ability I will continue to work on my own personal
self-growth and education.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, I love to read, I enjoy woodworking, I love taking my dogs on hikes, I have a special connection with horses, and I love being anywhere near the water. I have been married for 21 years, I am a mom to two adult sons, an adult step daughter, and I was a foster parent for 13 years with the Children's Aid Society of Nipissing and Parry Sound.
Thank you for putting your trust in my hands, I look forward to helping you achieve your own personal wellness and recovery.
