What are the first few sessions of Individual counselling like?

In the first few sessions we will go through your primary concerns and begin identifying which of these concerns we should be working on immediately. We will work with you to develop a therapeutic plan designed to address your unique needs, goals, and problems/issues. Together we will prioritize which goals you would like to "target" first.



What are the steps I need to take to begin the counselling process?

If you are worried about your mental health, stressed out, depressed or just trying to take care of yourself request a free 20-minute consultation. From this point we will book an appointment in person or online and then develop goals from there to best meet your needs.
