I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share my experience because I hope it helps mental health clinics think more carefully about how they communicate with their clients. Maybe other people have felt the same way but never said anything, and I hope this helps them know they're not alone. I started therapy at Mind2Heart a while ago and was going every week. After a while, I decided I'd just book appointments when I felt I needed them. After a while, I got a phone call from the clinic asking if I wanted to continue therapy. I told them I was just taking a break and would come back when I felt ready. I did end up going back for a few more sessions, but after I took another break, I got another phone call asking the same thing. Again, I explained that I was taking a pause for now and would come back when I felt ready. I had only agreed to get appointment reminders by text or email. I wasn't expecting phone calls asking if I wanted to continue therapy. I understand there are times when a clinic needs to contact a client, like if someone misses an appointment. But other than that, I don't think clinics should be calling clients unless they've agreed to that kind of contact. We already get enough unexpected phone calls from telemarketers and other companies. I don't think mental health clinics should be another one. Mental health is very personal, and people shouldn't get unexpected phone calls about their therapy if they haven't asked for them or agreed to them. The clinic may have been trying to be supportive, but it had the opposite effect on me. I think therapy should be something people choose to come back to on their own terms, not because they get unexpected phone calls asking if they want to continue. I think a better way would be to ask people at the beginning if they even want the clinic to check in if they stop booking appointments. If someone does want that, maybe sending an email would be more private and less intrusive than an unexpected phone call. That way they can reply when they feel comfortable—or not reply at all. I think mental health clinics should be very careful when it comes to clients' consent and personal boundaries. People share some of the most personal and vulnerable parts of their lives in therapy. Because of that, some people may already feel like it's hard to say no or speak up. They may feel they have to be nice and agree with things just so they don't make things uncomfortable if they decide to come back. This experience was especially disappointing because I have a very positive relationship with my therapist and appreciate the work we have done together. I simply don't want to receive phone calls that go beyond what I've agreed to. I hope the clinic takes this feedback into consideration and thinks more carefully about how and why they contact their clients. No one should feel pressured or put in an uncomfortable position when making personal decisions about their mental health. I also didn't feel comfortable bringing this up directly because I prefer to keep my mental health as private and discreet as possible. I just want therapy to be a place where I feel supported, not another thing that adds stress, pressure, or drama.

Terrible because I screened them by asking to they provide trauma informed care and the intake worker told me they provide trauma informed care and asked me to share my life. He assured me they could help. Asked my triggering questions that weren’t trauma informed and caused distress and then came back an hour later saying he couldn’t help. Terrible experience with them as intake worker wasn’t trauma informed and over promised and under delivered

Alanna is amazing. She's so kind and helpful. I immediately felt at ease with her and able to truly work on my issues. Kind of sad to be done my sessions. Highly recommend mind2heart for all ages! Amazing staff and great customer service

I was having personal and marital issues and needed some help working through my stress. I was able to book with Tammy Lalonde for a some sessions and I will say she listened to me with care and compassion, helped guide me towards much better days and I am forever grateful that I just took the courage to finally confront my issues head on with Tammy and I have removed so much stress and anxiety I once carried. Life changing! Thanks Tammy!

I was nervous when I initially booked my appointment, unsure of what to expect as I hadn't had a psycho-therapist in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised by how great Sahar is. She's very knowledgable, warm and I felt that I was able to open up to her with ease. She is very attentive and very intelligent. I highly recommend this clinic. I'm sure any other provider you book with is equally as great.

Sachi is a great therapist, she is warm, skilled and non-judgmental. She genuinely cares about her work and her clients, creating trust and a safe place to talk about issues. When I started with Sachi I was in a very bad place, she helped me to realize how various aspects of my life were negatively impacting my mental health. Sachi listened with empathy and understanding, and provided practical suggestions on how I might help myself. She is very encouraging and the therapy greatly reduced my stress level and set me on a path to better self-care and healing.

Sahar is one of the warmest, kindest people I have ever met. She has such a nurturing and patient approach that immediately puts you at ease. She truly takes her time to connect, creating a safe and comforting space where you can open up completely without fear of judgment. Her understanding and compassion shine through and it’s clear that she genuinely cares. She truly listens with her heart.

My experience may have been a little different than others because I do have some therapeutic training. However- please do your research before choosing a therapist. People with MSW’s who are able to practice psychotherapy do not have the same training as a registered psychotherapist. An MSW degree is a very broad, generic degree with very little formal training in therapeutic modalities. That being said, this practice was recommended to me and we gave it a try for our child. The therapist wasn’t able to answer my questions regarding what modalities she was utilizing or gave me a formal treatment plan- goals, timeline and methods being utilized is something any experienced, trained therapist should be able to provide after the initial getting-to-know-you sessions. This was a very basic situation where we came in with clear goals and we did many, many sessions before we realized this was going absolutely nowhere and this person wasn’t offering our child any therapeutic support. They were honestly just supportive check-in’s versus offering any type of clinical solutions to a very basic issue. As parents we want to support our children as best we can and look to professionals for guidance and their clinical expertise: this fell extremely short of what I would expect at 195/HR for somebody that had limited knowledge/experience. Ask for treatment plans from the get go, or your throwing away time and money for zero growth or change.

I had the honour of learning from Laura while she was facilitating a course I took. I had the pleasure of getting to spend 8 weekend with her while I learnt Parenting a Child with Trauma. She was extremely kind, listened well to all of us and allowed us to have our feelings while guiding us on our journeys (whatever those journeys were). Without her and her extreme knowledge our lives may look very different then they are now. I would highly recommend her and any of her staff
