Not to worry, feeling intimidated or anxious about taking the first step to seek help is completely normal. We understand that you might feel nervous or embarrassed. Our intake counsellors are empathetic and compassionate, and understand that seeking help may be difficult for some people. During the initial intake, our intake counsellors will ask you a few questions and you will only need to elaborate on any difficulties you are experiencing if you feel comfortable doing so. The intake process, on average, takes 10-15 minutes.

We understand that creating a strong therapeutic alliance is essential for successful therapy. If you do not feel connected to your therapist, please inform us about your concerns. We will gladly connect you with another therapist that will meet your needs.

We understand that seeking counselling or psychological treatment is a private matter. Therefore, maintaining your privacy is important to us. Confidentiality is one of our primary goals and we adhere to the privacy and confidentiality guidelines outlined by our profession’s regulatory bodies.

Counselling and psychological treatment can have a significant impact on helping you to feel better in addition to or in replacement of medication. Although in some cases medication is beneficial and necessary, therapy provides you with concrete ways to manage and cope with the way you are feeling. You will gain skills and strategies that you can use in your everyday life and in the future. If you have been prescribed medication, speak with your doctor about the different options.
