Learn about our services

  • Individual counselling is a personal journey with a co-pilot who happens to be a trained counsellor. It's all about you—your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In this one-on-one setting, you get to unpack the baggage you've been carrying, whether it's old wounds, current challenges, or future uncertainties. The therapist provides a safe space to explore your inner landscape, understand your behaviour with functional analysis, help you gain new skills, integrate coping strategies, and navigate life's bumpy roads by focusing on your values, goals, and hoped-for outcomes. It's like having a skilled navigator helping you chart your course so you can steer towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.

  • Couples counselling is like a pit stop for relationships. It's a space where partners can navigate the twists and turns of their connection with the help of a trained professional. Consider it a tune-up for your relationship, addressing communication breakdowns, resolving conflicts, and fine-tuning emotional intimacy. The therapist guides the couple, helping them explore their dynamics, understand each other better, and develop healthier ways to relate. It's not about placing blame but instead finding common ground and revving up the engine for a smoother ride together.

  • Group counselling is a shared adventure for mental and emotional well-being. It's a therapeutic setting where a group of people, led by a trained therapeutic counsellor, come together to explore and discuss their thoughts, feelings, and challenges. The power of group therapy lies in the collective support and understanding among members who may be facing similar issues. It's a space for sharing experiences, gaining insights, and developing coping strategies. Instead of facing life's twists and turns alone, individuals in group therapy have a supportive community, like a team of co-navigators, on the journey toward better mental health.

  • An expert called an Assessor in the Ontario Children’s Law Reform Act conducts an assessment and prepares a report on the child's best interests.

    When an independent understanding of the views and preferences of a child aged seven or older is required, a Voice of the Child report ensures that children have their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and preferences heard in custody, access, and time-sharing proceedings.
