FAQS
Mental Health FAQs
How can I tell if I need therapy or counselling?
If you are struggling to manage daily life, experiencing persistent stress, sadness, anxiety, or find that old coping mechanisms are no longer working, it is a great time to seek support. Taking the first step is often the hardest.
Do you accept insurance?
Our services, provided by Master of Social Work (MSW) and Registered Social Workers (RSW), are often covered by most extended health benefit plans. We advise you to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your specific coverage details.
What is a strength-based approach?
A strength-based approach focuses on your inherent abilities, resources, and successes rather than concentrating solely on deficits or problems. It’s about building confidence and empowering your personal resilience.
