We offer private clinical counselling sessions in a variety of ways, for individuals and families, and have in person and remote options available.  Taking the first step can sometimes be the hardest one! We are here to provide a counselling experience that will help you feel comfortable, safe, and uplifted. Sometimes finding effective support can be an overwhelming task when there are so many options.

​

Our clinical therapist offers evidence-based practice, meaning that we use therapeutic interventions that have scientific evidence to support their effectiveness as treatments for specific clinical problems. We are committed to providing high quality care based on the best scientific evidence available. Our clinical counselling practice will connect you with a highly trained registered clinical therapist, with a Master's degree in counselling and mental health.  

​

Our clinical counselling practice is a relational, person-centred approach, utilizing developmental, ecological, narrative, cognitive-behavioural, and solution-focused theories. Our goal is to customize and integrate well-researched therapies into practice, and we are committed to staying current with the latest research to ensure the best care possible. We strive to offer flexibility and empower clients to take charge of their life and create the life they want. We firmly believe there is always something you can do to progress and move forward.

NATURE-BASED COUNSELLING

For many youth and families, counselling is more effective outside the four walls of an office. Many children and youth struggle with screen addiction in various forms and benefit from a calm, mindful settings. A session of nature based therapy is an excellent way to unplug, get outside into the fresh air, and reconnect with nature during the counselling session. 

 

We also offer animal assisted walk and talk therapy, which we highly recommended for teens with anxiety and depression. Please let us know during your initial consult if you would like us to bring one of our four-legged counselling companions.
