Therapeutic Counselling – What We Do
- We serve youth clients ages 15 to 25 in the Lower Mainland
- There is no cost to the client for therapy, thanks to our generous funders and donors
- We ask clients to commit to a minimum of 4 months (16 sessions) of therapy; clients can discuss this more with the therapist in the first session
- If it’s determined that a different type of therapy would better suit a client, our outreach team will help connect them to other services that may meet their needs
Services We Do Not Provide
- Counselling for youth with acute psychiatric disorders or moderate/severe medical conditions
- Crisis Response
