Who we are

Atlantic Recovery was founded by Jenna Small, a Registered Associate Addictions Counsellor, with the goal of creating a compassionate and accessible space for individuals and families affected by substance use. The practice was shaped by both professional training and lived experience with addiction and recovery, as well as supporting loved ones through substance use. This perspective brings a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families may face and reinforces a commitment to providing respectful, non-judgmental support.

Our mission is to provide compassionate, accessible addiction counselling that supports individuals and families in recovery. Healing can begin wherever you are, whenever you’re ready. Through virtual counselling, recovery can start from the safety and comfort of your own space, with support available for you and your loved ones every step of the way.

Atlantic Recovery was created on the belief that recovery is possible and that support should be available in a way that feels safe, compassionate, and accessible. Every person’s journey with substance use is different, and counselling is designed to meet people wherever they are in that process. Whether someone is actively struggling with substance use, considering change, beginning recovery, or working to maintain long-term sobriety, support is available.

The impact of addiction is rarely limited to the individual alone. Families, partners, and close friends often carry their own stress, uncertainty, and emotional strain while supporting someone they care about. Atlantic Recovery welcomes individuals and families seeking understanding, guidance, and support as they navigate these challenges.

All services are offered virtually to make counselling more accessible and convenient. Virtual counselling allows individuals and families to begin their recovery journey from the safety and comfort of their own space, helping remove barriers such as travel, location, or scheduling challenges. For many people, starting recovery in a familiar and private environment can make taking that first step feel more manageable.

At Atlantic Recovery, the focus is on creating a supportive space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward. Counselling is centred on helping individuals build insight, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with their goals and values.

Recovery can begin wherever you are, whenever you are ready. Atlantic Recovery is here to support individuals and families every step of the way.
