“I attribute much of my success in recovery to Jonathan’s support during my 5 month stay in sober living. After years of counselling, rehab, therapy and medication I had lost hope of ever overcoming my addiction. But Jonathan not only gave me hope again, but provided me with the tools, inspiration and motivation to take back control of my life. He truly understands the disease of addiction and why addicts behave the way they do. There is never any judgment, just compassion and profound guidance and wisdom. It never felt like he was just ‘doing his job’. It always felt like he was fully invested in my recovery. I honesty don’t think I would have come this far in my recovery had of I not had the good fortune of meeting Jonathan.”

"We had the pleasure of working with Jonathan when he was my son’s case worker in his Recovery journey through the Sober Living Program associated by Addiction Rehab Toronto.
Joanthan’s consistent positivity, superior communication skills and no judgement approach helped my son to rebuild his confidence and start to believe in what could be possible in the future as part of his recovery.  
Anyone who is lucky enough to have Joanathan in their corner and on their team for whatever difficult journey they are going through are truly blessed!"

"I came into the recovery house after almost a decade of trying to get sober on my own and in and out of rehabs. When I met Jonathan my first impression was “tough but fair.” He always had time for me and all of the guys but was very clear about rules, and about the importance of honouring your commitments. What started out as a mutual respect turned into a real friendship. I learned what it meant to be a man in recovery from Jonathan. He exemplifies what successful recovery looks like. And is not afraid to remind you that this thing is life or death… it is not easy, it is not simple, it is not for the faint of heart, but it is possible. He didn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk everyday… and shows other young men how to not only get sober but stay sober and happy and become successful in recovery.

I believe my journey to getting a year and a half of sobriety, as of this week, was contributed to by many great people in my life. None more important in this process than Jonathan. "

"Jonathan was extremely helpful and supportive with my brother's recovery journey. He has a wonderful personality and was unconditionally available. He was always prompt with his communication and offered balanced sound advice ensuring everyone involved was comfortable and on the same team. We were all so thankful and grateful to have him on this journey." 

"My husband and I cannot say enough about Jonathan and the positive impact he had on our son and our entire family. Jonathan was our son’s addiction counsellor for approximately 1 year at a sober living home. Jonathan is a very dedicated, skilled, compassionate and loving counsellor. We will always be grateful to him”.
