Mental Health Counselling involves one-on-one talk therapy using evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. Youth are able to discuss their thoughts and emotions in a confidential setting with a Masters Level Social Worker. A single session model is used to allow for youth to drop-in as needed without the pressure of scheduled appointments. No topic is off limits.
Clinical groups include evidence-based treatments to address anxiety, depression and other emotions that may cause distress. In a group setting, youth will engage in activities and discussions in order to learn new skills and tools to cope with difficulties.
Addiction Counselling involves one-on-one evidence-based psychotherapy, tailored to the needs of each client. Youth are able to receive support managing substance use behaviours, the challenges of change and recovery. Along with substance use, counselling can also focus on gaming and gambling. A single session model is used to allow for youth to drop-in as needed without the wait.
Groups are offered specifically for those experiencing addiction. They will teach new skills, create an environment of support and provide education along the way.
