  • Clinical services are facilitated by professional counsellors with masters degrees, along with additional support from experienced mental health professionals including Psychotherapists, Social Workers and Professional Life Coaches. Our dedicated team works to offer you the opportunity for improvement and positive change in your life. We are here to help, support, educate, mentor, and mediate to achieve a favourable outcome.

We offer both one-on-one and marital / couples counselling. Please see our rates page for additional information on our fees.
