SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL
COUNSELLING
Most people want to talk with a therapist one to one. Each Registered Social Worker on the team has training in several different therapy models and an work with you to find an approach that works best for you. Your first session begins with an assessment, meaning you and your chosen therapist would talk about you, your family, and how you want to approach the issue that is troubling you. Your therapist would then move to planning your therapy goals and a treatment plan.
The team has experience working in many areas including with children, adolescents and adults, individuals and couples, who have experiences living with stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief and trauma as well as other mental health concerns. We also have experience working with active military, veterans, first responders and their families. See the individual team member pages for more information.
While individual sessions are 50 minutes by default, in some cases, people prefer to engage in therapy over the course of a few hours rather than once a week. This can be useful for individuals that live out of town. It is also helpful when an individual has an issue or trauma that they would like to deal with quickly for intense symptom relief. Please inquire directly to your team member of choice if you wish to arrange a longer appointment.

COUPLES & FAMILY
COUNSELLING
No one and no issue can happen in isolation. As Registered Social Workers, we like to see things within a broader context. Some issues need to be dealt with in the context of the family, or the couple. An initial session is similar to an individual session in that the first step is to get to know you and your family. This can be complicated, and so in some cases we may need more than 50 minutes for the first session. Together, you and your chosen therapist will develop a plan that everyone can agree upon and a goal that will help you move forward.
In some cases, couples prefer to do therapy over the course of a few hours rather than once a week. This can be useful for couples that live out of town. It is also helpful when an couple has an issue or trauma that they would like to deal with quickly for intense symptom relief. Please inquire directly to your team member of choice if you wish to arrange a longer appointment.
