As a former Adult Care Worker I cannot recommend the available services too highly. On hand…read morecounseling is professional, empathetic, and reciprocal. I have directed many of my past cases to the CMHA for required counsel, as well as for becoming members in 'disorder-specific' groups. Personal experience with MH issues is what led me to discover the CMHA. Through the CMHA I was able to understand the multi-thematic state (consisting of 4 acute monothematic delusions) that indicated my specific DMS (delusional misidentification syndrome). Were it not for the CMHA I may not have been able to stabilize the relationship between my cortical and limbic systems, thereby allowing a healthy trajectory for the development of my mind. If you, or anyone you know has difficulty relating their mind to socially constructed reality, I implore using the personal assistance offered at the CMHA. The peer groups and social/street outreach programs may save a life. I cannot review other aspects of the CMHA (IE independent Living Support, Suicide Bereavement Support), as I have no substantive experience. If anyone has issues with ILS or SBS, please contact CMHA and provide a review here!

I would like to leave a very positive review about Carrie-Lee Gibson at Living Well Counselling …read more She has helped me immensely in my life as she has supported me through some very tough and complex life transitions.

My husband read me the different scripts each night before bed from about my second trimester onwards. During the birth, he was able to read them to me while I was in labour and it made such a big difference. I was able to go back to that calm and comfortable space that we had previously practiced. Highly recommend!
