Take the Next Steps in your Recovery!

Cynthia Moore has been a mental health advocate since 1985. She volunteered and began studying rational emotive therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to lead support groups for women experiencing domestic abuse at The Catholic Women's Society. 

An empath possesses the remarkable ability to perceive others, connect with their emotions, and create a safe, nurturing environment for change talk and emotional healing. This profound capacity for empathy along with motivational interviewing techniques, is a gift and has been a critical component of her work. This has resulted in countless successes and positive outcomes. Clients receive guidance to discover how their unhelpful thoughts have been affecting their behaviour and undermining their chances of success in recovery.

Cynthia's personal experiences with mental health and addiction as a trauma survivor have strengthened her ability to form meaningful connections with her clients. In her practice, vulnerability is met with acceptance and understanding.

Her commitment to community service has been nothing short of extraordinary. From 2012 to 2025, she served as the SMART Recovery Regional Coordinator for Ontario, where she launched the SMART program in Toronto. With great passion for the work, she wholeheartedly dedicated herself to facilitating over 850 support meetings, mentoring team members, and managing partnerships that helped lead these meetings for SMART Recovery in Canada.

Cynthia has witnessed countless lives transform and keeps in touch with her clients after they graduate from the work. Her personal approach when facilitating groups and positive reinforcement techniques provide a profound sense of belonging, reminding everyone that they are never alone as they work together on their recovery.

When we are guided with genuine kindness and compassion, it is possible to reclaim our lives as we embrace a brighter future.

Helping meeting participants and clients achieve lasting positive change is Cynthia's mission. If you are open to seeing how this works, on Thursdays at 7 pm, she offers a complimentary OPEN to the PUBLIC addiction support meeting.

She offers two private members-only addiction support meetings for those in the health care profession and in the hospitality industry.

Evidence-based therapy relies on scientifically validated and research-backed methods to ensure effective treatment. Evidence-based therapists rely on peer-reviewed scientific research, combined with client preferences, to inform treatment selection. 

Next Steps Recovery provides a transformative program that combines Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support individuals in their recovery journey. 

The CRAFT program empowers families and friends to be supportive of their loved ones in recovery.  Cynthia's dedication to advocating for families facing mental health and addiction challenges is rooted in her lived experience and enhanced by training in CRAFT Positive Reinforcement and Motivational Interviewing techniques.   

The importance of mindfulness and self-compassion practices is also helpful in sustaining lifestyle changes. Together, we can find out what works for you and navigate the path to recovery.
