Strive Counselling is currently offering virtual (phone/video) appointments, and limited in-person appointments for some counsellors. When attending a virtual session, please ensure that you are in a safe and private space, with ample reception and a stable internet connection. Video sessions are conducted over Zoom, which your counsellor will send you a link before your appointment. For in-person sessions, you must first receive confirmation from your counsellor to ensure office space availability.

NOTE: Strive Counselling does not do direct billing for insurance coverage or extended health benefits. This means that clients are responsible for covering the cost of the session initially, and will be provided with the proper documentation for reimbursement after receipt of payment for the session.

EAP Counselling Sessions

Employment Assistance Programs (EAPs) are third-party services offered through various organizations (such as schools) and companies for clients to access free short-term counselling. HumanaCare, Aspiria, Optima, Empower Me, and FNHA are examples of such programs. Book one of the following sessions only if you fall under one of these EAPs.


EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based intervention that helps to reprocess specific stressful and traumatic memories using a method called bilateral stimulation. Successful reprocessing can resolve the maladaptive ways in which these memories show up in our present life, and can allow us to move forward in a meaningful and healthy manner.


Sports Psychology and Mental Performance

A Mental Performance Coach / Consultant (MPC) is a practitioner who specializes in helping high-level performers - such as professional athletes - achieve their desired performance outcomes. Some common issues include dealing with pressure, performative anxiety, focus and attention, motivation, and identity.


Subsidized Sessions

Subsidized counselling (i.e., lower cost, or sliding scale) is typically reserved for those who are in challenging financial situations. Some examples may include students who do not have benefits or employment, or for those who have no employment and no coverage for their sessions. Please do not hesitate to connect with a counsellor on our team to see whether you meet the criteria


Supervision and Consultation

Offering supervision for other clinicians

I believe in taking a holistic, person-centred approach that integrates evidence-based, strength-based, mindfulness, and somatic practices. I understand that therapy should be tailored to your specific concerns, needs, and desires, which is why I always strive to use different practices that are unique and appropriate for you. To me, therapy is a space where we can explore, discover, and tackle any distressing thoughts, feelings, or behaviours that may be holding you back.
