Counselling
Everyone needs support at some time in their life. Our qualified counsellors can help you work through your concerns, develop new coping skills and build self-resiliency to help you move forward. Our counsellors use therapeutic interventions with a recognition of the goals and values of each person we have the privilege of serving, including an emphasis on growth and development and assisting people with situational change.
We offer individual, couples and family (including children’s and youth) counselling services in such areas as marriage, addiction, depression, anxiety, sexuality, separation, divorce, parenting, trauma, self-esteem and emotional regulation and overall wellness. Family Services Windsor-Essex offers our services at locations across Windsor and Essex County. Our counselling fees are affordable as we are committed to ensuring that no one is turned away due to their inability to pay (see below for more on fees).
Family Services Windsor-Essex is a place where human rights are respected and where the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are welcomed and supported. Professional counselling services are available for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Family Services Windsor-Essex offers compassionate and non-judgmental support for individuals, their partners, family members and caregivers.
