About Our Therapeutic Counselling

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.

Services We Do Not Provide

  • Counselling for youth with acute psychiatric disorders 
  • Counselling for severe medical conditions
  • Crisis or emergency response
  • Drop-in Counselling        

Talk therapy is not always a good fit for some of our clients. If it’s determined that a different type of intervention would suit a client better, our outreach team will help connect them to other services that better meet their needs.

If you are in crisis and in need of assistance, please call 911.
