“I just wanted to say again that our sessions have really alleviated (hopefully permanently) my sadness over the passing of my animals and now I can better concentrate… Our sessions have also triggered a self-examination that I hope will continue forever.  Thank you so much for your guidance.  I will really miss talking with you”  S.Y., Hawai, USA.

FAQ:

What can I expect when contacting a Trusted Counsellor through CCPLB's website?
All our counsellors and referral sources are carefully selected and checked before listing, however each acts as an independent entity and is not related to CCPLB directly. It will be best to make all inquiries directly to each counsellor or resource that seems to suit your needs.

How much does it cost?
Fees for counselling sessions vary depending on the counsellor you work with and the degree of support needed.


Are fees covered by Government Health Care Systems?
Services are not covered by government health care benefits (such as OHIP); however, since all our counsellors are registered with a regulatory body (such as the College of Social Workers, OACCPP, etc), some services may be covered by some third party insurance companies. Please consult directly with each counsellor about your inquiry.

How do I make an appointment?
Please visit our Trusted Counsellors Page to make an appointment with a counsellor in your area or that which feels the most right for you at this time.
