OUR COUNSELLING SERVICES SUMMARY

Our services are often covered by extended benefits insurance plan providers, such as MANULIFE, SUNLIFE, BLUE CROSS, and more. 

Check with your extended benefits insurance plan provider to confirm that you have coverage for Psychological Services and/or Psychotherapy.  

We provide child therapy aimed to strengthen the child-parent relationship and create the best environment for child emotional, social, and cognitive development. Treatment based on the  principles of  Theraplay® is one of the most effective ways to help parents raise a whole brain child.  Recent research shows that responsive parenting builds healthy child brains and social capacities.

Parents will learn about their strengths as a parent and learn new skills to attune to their child's needs.

Family counselling and play therapy builds and supports your child’s positive sense of self-worth and resilience, reduces depression and anxiety, and increases confidence and self-acceptance. 

Teens may struggle with gender issues and we  support our LGBTQ community by providing a safe place to receive counselling.

Adults face unique issues throughout their lives, often struggling with career problems and stressful work environments, fatherhood, motherhood, marital distress, aging, illness, depression, and anxiety. Through counselling and treatment, we are able to help you heal and thrive as you move forward in your life once again.

Step-families and blended families often struggle with  loss and grief for their previous family structure, while adjusting to new bonds and relationships. Dynamics can be complicated, with loyalty binds, jealousies, and fears.  In fact, it can take an average of 9 years for difficult relationship issues to be worked through and resolved in blended families. We can support you to make adjustments and build bonds.

Our treatment is based on Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).

Counselling can be beneficial to couples & partners who are looking to strengthen their emotional connections in all stages of their relationship, including those who are married, cohabitating, same sex, dating, engaged, and polyamorous. 

Counselling is not just for couples! Siblings  benefit from relationship counselling, resolving long standing misunderstandings, competition, jealousies, and rivalries.

We offer the researched and evidence-based Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) music therapy of Dr. Stephen Porges to help individuals initiate and access a physiological state conducive to well-being, positive engagement with others, and growth in learning. 

The NBI® enables you to understand your thinking preferences, which can give you a new perspective on yourself, your family, children, friends and those you interact with every day, of more success in life.

Parents and couples can assess and compare their parenting and relationship preferences. Through this, they learn more about each other, adjust interactions to validate differences and utilize each other's strengths.  

These assessments are an excellent way to assist your child or adolescent to identify desired learning preferences and career and educational goals.

The NBI® assessments enable you to receive the best guidance in choosing a new career & best study practices. This group of assessments assists in choosing a meaningful career and enhances creativity and positive thinking in your personal and professional life.
