Our Services
Free Meet and Greet
This is an opportunity to learn how we will work together and what you can expect from therapy. This allows you an opportunity to first meet with your therapist and decide if they will be the right match for you. If you feel that it may be a good fit, you can schedule a full appointment, however there is no obligation.

Full Mental Health Assessment
The purpose of the first full appointment is to complete an assessment. The highly structured assessment will focus on gathering information regarding your symptoms, strengths, challenges, and history. This information will shape the overall treatment plans and goals for therapy. The assessment can sometimes take more than one appointment and it is sometimes best to schedule a longer appointment for your assessment.

Individual Counselling
Once the assessment and treatment plan is completed, you will finally begin the counselling process. Appointments can range from 25 Minutes to 80 Minutes. All counselling is individualized. For most problems, people may need anywhere from 6 to 20 sessions, and sessions are typically weekly or bi-weekly. As you progress through therapy, the length between appointments will likely increase as you start to see improvements and learn new ways to manage your mental health.
