Counselling

According to the College of Registered Psychotherapists (crpo.ca), Psychotherapy differs from Counselling as follows: “The practice of psychotherapy is distinct from both counselling, where the focus is on the provision of information, advice-giving, encouragement and instruction, and spiritual counselling, which is counselling related to religion or faith-based beliefs.” HPRAC: New Directions, 2006; Chapter 7, Regulation of Psychotherapy, p. 208.

Although the CRPO does not oversee counselors or counselling, there is a significant overlap between psychotherapy and counselling.

Some individuals who are identified as “Independent Associates” on our platform may not engage in the professionally regulated activity of psychotherapy. Instead, their expertise and areas of specialization vary. We will clarify these details during your initial consultation.

All services are fee-based. If this option applies to you, please inquire about the possibility of reimbursement from your employer’s benefits plan. In case of no such coverage, it’s essential to note that sessions will be charged directly to you.

Psychotherapy

​​Taking the first step towards seeing a mental health professional is a personal journey. Our team of mental health experts is at your disposal for all your professional or collaborative needs. 

At all times. 

Adapting to your emotional state each day, meeting you there.  

It is important to note that psychotherapy, regardless of the form it takes, should always be helpful, supportive, without hidden agendas, and free from surprise.

We are human beings engaged in human service work. 

The unique aspect of collaborating with a mental health expert is our extensive expertise in mastering the art of setting aside our own personal baggage. 

This is one advantage of psychotherapy. 

Surrounded by loved ones, trusted acquaintances, and sometimes even unanticipated individuals, we find solace and support throughout our daily lives. Yet, these people hold a personal stake in our well-being, which can sometimes hinder our desired trajectory. Seeking guidance from a mental health professional can help clarify these matters. 

A therapeutic relationship is unique and unlike any other relationship. 

Feel free to express yourself openly and honestly about the therapeutic process and any aspects that are not working for you within the secure and confidential therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic connection offers insight into how to navigate daily existence. Our joint exploration will determine the most suitable approach for you. Unlike other relationships, it’s free from fears such as rejection, disrespect, mockery, self-doubt, fault-finding, criticism, and wounded emotions. This makes it an utterly distinct experience, potentially evoking a sense of exposure. Therefore, finding the perfect therapist who aligns with your goals becomes crucial. Our goal is to facilitate your growth and development into your optimal self.

Telehealth Mental Health Services

Tele-Mental Health is not intended for emergency or crisis treatment. It is also not intended for people diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder or difficulties related to substance use, or for those at risk of harming themselves or others. We suggest that you go to the nearest hospital. Telehealth mental health services offer the convenience of avoiding travel and work absences for appointments. This solution is ideal if you find it difficult to attend in-person sessions due to scheduling constraints.

Studies have emerged that indicate the effectiveness of online therapy as being at least as effective as in-office sessions. For some, being in the comfort of their own home is more effective for their therapeutic experience.
