Introduction

What to Expect for a First Visit and Directions

Mission Statement:

To aid individuals in improving the quality and happiness of their lives by developing an intimate and accurate knowledge of themselves that is obtained by expanding their perceived limits, redefining their boundaries and ultimately improving their mental health.

What to Expect: 

When you first arrive at most offices, you will be required to fill out an assessment form.  Most forms ask about your family history, your physical and mental health, medications you are currently taking, general areas of concern, the length of time you have been experiencing your symptoms and what has made you seek counselling at this time. 

An assessment session is like an interview, you are meeting your therapist for the first time.  It is a great time not only for you to explain why you are seeking help but also to ask questions to your therapist about their qualifications.

If for any reason you feel uncomfortable with the person you are seeing move on to another counsellor.  Remember the therapist is there to help you.  The two of you will be working together and he or she will be presenting you with several options and providing you with tools which will help you face problems in the future.  The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of therapy and although a therapist maybe qualified you must feel comfortable and confident with them.

The office is located on the 2nd floor of the Garden Basket Plaza on the NE corner of Hwy 48 (Markham Rd.) and 16th Ave. The entrance to the office is located to the left of the Roger's Video.
