OUR COUNSELLORS
Let’s find your new therapist today.
Choosing a therapist is a big decision!
We understand that while experience and training are important, it’s really important to find someone who feels like a good fit and who you are comfortable talking to. That’s why we offer a free, no-pressure phone or video consultation to all prospective clients.
Our team of experienced and compassionate counsellors are available for in-person sessions in downtown Victoria, or for video appointments anywhere in the province of BC. Please don’t wait to start feeling better. We look forward to meeting you!
