Spirit from within.
In life, obstacles challenge, worry and seem to shatter us. Healing, and the information and strategies required to move forward confidently, are sometimes difficult to uncover by ourselves.
Our team provides a collaborative, compassionate experience that focuses directly on the needs of our clients. Whether you need a timely assessment, counselling to provide support through a difficult period of life, or consulting with you or outside agencies on your behalf about the next best steps, we are there for YOU.
Our team works together in synergy, actively consulting with and supporting one another. Professional development is valued and ongoing to provide the best, up-to-date services to our clients.
Each of us mindfully values the privilege of working with you and/or your loved ones.
Spirited Education.
Education is the process of manifesting the inner divine potentialities.
We are passionate about ensuring that all our clients have access to the best supports to help them achieve their potential. This means that each Spirit team member is constantly pursuing their own educational goals and certifications to provide the best services possible.
Our Team is certified in many specific therapies and approaches, including: EMDRIA, ICEEFT, NSCCT, CCPA and ATTCH. Our Psychologists are licensed with NSBEP and our Therapists are licensed with NSCCT, CCPA, CPCA. In addition, our Speech Language Pathologists and Behaviour Interventionists are licensed with their appropriate professional bodies and actively pursue professional development.
A modern approach.
We meet you where you’re at.
Within a warm and welcoming environment, we provide assessment, consultation, counselling, speech-language services (children and adults) and hands-on, at-home, practical intervention for behavioural challenges.
We provide couple and family counselling, because sometimes people need to seek support together to be better together.
We provide various assessments for clients ages 4 to 25 years inclusive – including psycho-educational for learning disabilities and ADHD, developmental/intellectual delay as well as pre-screening for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and many common mental health challenges.
Daytime, evening and weekend appointments are available. Many of our services are available both virtually and in-person.
