My family and I got together with Michael and Dylan recently. These guys were simply fantastic in helping with our family situation. They made us all feel so comfortable and helped us in so many ways. Our family member that needed their help and advice was so comfortable talking to them from the start. They amazed all of us with their calm and open demeanour. It was like we had known these two guys forever. I can't thank them enough for being there for us and would recommend them to help anyone having a family problem with alcohol and drugs involved. Just so wonderful that my family member that needed the help was so very comfortable discussing this issue with them and will always be so thankful for what they done for all of us. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with Michael and Dylan if you find yourself in need of help.

I am a 74 year old female that needed help to stop drinking. I had tried other approaches that did not seem to work for me and also I don’t think I was quite ready until I met Michael. I have been managing multiple health issues and then Covid hit. Covid kept me inside more and I found that drinking became a daily occurrence to cope with boredom and simply to escape. The five o’clock happy hour became habitual. I was sometimes starting earlier in the day. We normally go away in the winter months and was not able to do that due to Covid and that actually turned out to help me focus on the work with Michael so not to be exposed to others drinking. Michael helped me create a plan with strategies and tools and built in accountability that helped transition me from a drinker to a moderate drinker to eventually a non-drinker! Yes, a non-drinker which is what I wanted but did not think I could do it. Michael did not force anything on me and instead was able to create a pace that I felt comfortable with. When I felt I was not progressing well — he never judged and instead always supported and encouraged forward movement. Thank you, Michael!
I can’t say enough good things about Michael. He helped me hold onto my sanity — not with sympathy — but just by being the compassionate and direct person he is. Michael doesn’t just counsel the person with the addiction but he’s there for the entire family. Always professional and never judging or critical. When my husband first met Michael I now realize it was too late — Korsakoff Syndrome (alcohol dementia) had already started to ravage his brain. Michael counselled him, drove him to rehab and listened to me — never being critical — instead asking questions and gently guiding. Michael never forced his ideas on my husband — just pointed him in the right direction. If you have substance use and addiction concerns whether you're an individual or family — Michael can likely help.
I recently had to make a trip from Ottawa to VIctoria to help my son who had succumbed to his alcohol addiction. He was in really bad shape and he needed to get into a rehab centre quickly. I had no knowledge of the rehab centres in BC or how to get him into one. A counselor recommended contacting Michael Walsh. I am so glad I did...Michael was a life saver. Michael is thoroughly knowledgeable of all of the rehab facilities in BC. and he coordinated the route to getting my son admitted into an excellent rehab facility. Michael was very supportive and understanding throughout the process and provided wonderful guidance in many ways to both my son and myself. He was also someone I could confide in. My son is out of rehab now and doing great! I am so grateful to Michael for everything he did. I totally recommend MIchael.
My son Richard, who has an addiction to alcohol was struggling with binge drinking which was escalating in its frequency and intensity. I was at a loss of what to do so asked a counsellor if she could recommend someone. She immediately recommended Michael Walsh and after talking with him about my concerns I decided to engage him and his assistant associate, Dylan to help my son. At first he was in denial about talking to them and wanted nothing to do with help because “he didn’t have a problem”! However he eventually contacted them to pacify my somewhat insistent urging to seek professional help. After a few sessions they really connected, primarily because Michael and Dylan had lived the life that he was living. They understand the problems and issues of alcohol addiction that are common amongst those afflicted by this disease. They used this knowledge and with their non-judgemental patient approach and common sense demeanour to crack Richard’s shell. It struck a chord with him and it has helped Richard come to terms with his addiction. He is currently in a treatment Center and wants to continue using Michael and Dylan as a resource for his aftercare program. Thank you guys, I would recommend your services to anyone who needs help or has a loved one requiring guidance you’re A1 in my book.
