I don't get that feeling with a lot of counselors, therefore, this is a huge thing for me to say. I'm gad that she moved her practice within the city. Very awesome at listening without judgement and very encouraging. She indulges me in my offbeat sense of humor which is appreciated. I feel good after her sessions with new goals and ideas that I worked out myself through openly talking and with her asking appropriate questions to get me thinking a little bit more outside the box so that I can creatively come to my own conclusions. I can't wait to see her again in March.

I go to Jericho Counselling for private counselling appointments but have also attended a group…read moretherapy series there. My group sessions were 4 times on one topic with other adults. We did a mixture of discussions, brainstorming and short mini lectures and relaxation techniques. I recommend the group sessions because it was helpful not to feel alone with, my challenges and became friends with another woman in the sessions. Also, found the counselors who ran the session were knowledgeable and synthetic. Now I am doing my own private sessions. They cost more than the workshops. I went with the second counselor in met. I choose the frequency of my appointments so it is not a package or set number of times. My health plan covered some of the cost. I find that my counselor is really helping me deal with an ongoing family issue. She is professional and we created a plan together. People in my life and colleagues have mentioned that I seem less stressed and I am sleeping better. I am happy to recommend them to others. One thing I will mention is there seems to be a lot of construction around the Broadway building. Sometimes the elevators take a while too.

My partner and I had a few sessions of couples counselling with a female counsellor at Jericho. Our…read moresessions felt very clinical, and I felt our counsellor lacked empathy. Not only were the sessions unhelpful, the counsellor was condescending. At one point when I briefly mentioned a past event, she leaned forward, shook her head, and said "and you bringing up the past, how does that help?" I was shocked by her response, and I said, "excuse me?", and she repeated the exact same words. We have since found a much better couples counsellor at another clinic. I would not recommend Jericho counselling.

It has the feeling of relaxation like a spa but the practitioners are very serious about your wellbeing. I had an appointment with Cary, whom I believe is the owner and she spent much more time going through point by point all of my medical intake form than I have ever experienced at an acupuncture studio. We talked in depth about all of my ailments and she gave some sound advice. The acupuncture session was pleasant and relaxing yet I felt energized after the treatment.

Upon invitation I checked out a sampling of their services. The place is small, clean, soft colors with a nice ambiance. There are a lot of self improvement books and complimentary water and tea. I met with Kira for a short life couching session. I've never had life couching, just heard about it. Kira was warm, humorous and made me feel comfortable opening up. In that short time she got the hamster wheels turning about the things that were important to me etc. I did an acupuncture session with Cary. I've never had an acupuncture session before, therefore, didn't know what to expect. The body can react individually. It was an intriguing experience as the body works in mysterious ways. She was kind, gentle and found humor in some of my embarrassing situations that day. She uses awesome aromatherapy oils and soft music. The acupuncture table is heated which was awesome on a cold day. Made me very relaxed. She mainly addressed my concerns about my back due to a car accident years ago. I had a very relaxing 30 minute message with Kent Smith. I actually found this to be the most informative message session that I've ever had. He talked me through what was going on in my body and the causes for certain areas being more difficult than others. Who completely understood my body as an office worker 8 hours a day at a desk and then as a hobby writer on my free time. He was suggestive and informative on solutions. He used an aromatherapy message with oil blends that made my heart feel like summer inside. The smell was so wonderful. I fell asleep on the table. It was the first time in weeks in which I really felt relaxed on my lunch break. I shut off my phone completely during my break and just allowed myself to escape with the touch and smell of the oils. I had a brief MI scan with Susan. Everything that Susan said about me was dead on. I didn't tell her anything. I just laid on the table and allowed her to do her magic. I just couldn't believe how accurate she was, I was blown away. I found some information about my body that was extremely helpful and encouraged me to take immediate actions on some issues that I've been putting on the back burner. It gave me that jump to really take proactive measures on these things. I got an extremely warm vibe from her. Overall the whole team was amazing, warm, friendly people.
