Counselling for Family Caregivers

Confidential individual counselling is available on an intermittent or ongoing basis.

There are benefits to counselling at all stages of the caregiving journey. Starting early in the caregiving process can help to prevent problems like burnout and depression - but it's never too late to begin.

The counselling approach is individualized and based on contemporary psychodynamic theory with some input from family systems, cognitive-behavioural, and trauma and loss theories.

Professional fees are charged for all services.

• Many extended health and employee assistance plans cover sessions with Registered Clinical Counsellors.
  
  
• Fees not reimbursed otherwise can be claimed as a Medical Expense on your income tax.
  
  
• A limited number of clients in financial need are seen at a reduced rate. This reduction should be requested in advance and negotiated at the first session.
