Mental Health and Addictions clinical counselling aims to assist you in finding the root cause of the issues you are facing. In counselling, active listening skills, compassion, and clear communication are some of the elements to helping you move towards your goals of living the life you need.

Counselling therapy is a process of building a safe and trusting relationship between the client and therapist, while also considering your cultural and traditional upbringing, environmental impacts, and healing practices as part of your makeup. Our counsellor works with you at your pace to help you reconnect with yourself, bringing your strengths to the surface that have been there all along and guide you to keep trying.  Being culturally competent as a counsellor is at the heart of working together in an ethical and honorable way.
