Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or just not like yourself, therapy can help. You don’t need a diagnosis or a “big enough” problem, just a sense that something isn’t working and you want support.
What issues do you help with?
We support clients with anxiety, trauma, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, individual and couples counselling, and ADHD. This can look like overthinking, burnout, emotional overwhelm, difficulty focusing, or feeling constantly on edge.
Do you offer therapy in Sarnia?
Yes! We offer in-person therapy in Sarnia, Ontario. We are located at 110 Water Street, on the second floor of the building.

What can I expect in a therapy session?
Therapy is a space where you can talk openly without judgment. We’ll work together to understand what you’re going through, build coping strategies, and process deeper patterns at your pace.
