Its been MONTHS waiting to get into therapy, but thats also on me because I switched from a territory to a province, so that took time, but from when I first applied this place held my name and information ready for me to reach back out and try again, they were extremely accommodating and kind. Got me in when they could and the overall experience with my first session was great, she listened and heard without judgment and with a level of perfessionalisam I could really appreciate. It was straight forward but had compassion, and was so kind. I look forward to my next appointment and for my future growth.

Ken is a very sincere, interested and qualified therapist. He is not hesitant to share some of his own personal experiences with the situation at hand, and is non-confrontational wrt assessing blame to an individual. I value his input and consider him a trusted friend.

Nothing but good things to say about the Therapy Place. Very welcoming, friendly, no judgement and extremely supportive. They have been helping me get through my trauma and helping me through current difficult situations and I am so thankful for their help. I've been seeing Catherine Morley and she has been a huge help with supporting me and helping me find a better way to look at things and to navigate my childhood trauma, survival behaviors and how to work through them. I 100% recommend her and the Therapy Place. 10/10 amazing place

I saw Andrew and I have never experienced a more uneducated and insensitive course in my life, and I have seen many. He not only invalidated my feelings, he had complete disregard when I was having some issues at a very difficult time in my life. I spoke with the manager after to share my absolute disgust with Andrews conduct and he was understanding and agreed that Andrew was not the right fit for me. I had reached out to try and make a formal complaint with the association. After several phone calls and conversations I spoke to someone that agreed my situation warranted to go through the complaint process. I was emailed the forms and in the end I decided to not do it. The main reason being that the gruelling process to go through and forms to fill makes it not easy for people to do. Also, was not how I wanted to spend my time as I had a lot going on for me at that time and it wasn’t really a priority to waste my time on some idiot only to drag it out and I would just rather get on with my life. Unfortunately I still held on to it because not only was the counselling with myself, it was for myself and someone else. Andrews inability to deal with the situation effectively ended up making matters worse than before we came. It was a waste of money, waste of time, detrimental to my mental state at the time and I just want to warn people that he had nothing to offer to me. He actually never even gave any input or support. He just sat there and watched the situation deteriorate and did nothing until I ended up leaving the appointment because I felt so humiliated, worthless, and invalidated when that’s the reason I went to him in the first place.

Maura is so easy to talk to. Her heart is full of compassion and empathy. I immediately felt the warmth of her heart and felt safe in her presence. She is incredibly wise and has helped me during a very difficult season! I highly recommend. I’ve heard great things about a few other therapists at this practice!

My daughter and I have had such a positive experience working with Ken. He has creative a safe, supportive and compassionate space where my daughter feels truly heard and understood. His insight and guidance has made a meaningful difference in our lives and we are incredibly grateful. I highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for a thoughtful and skilled therapist.

The therapy place is amazing. Our son sees Ken there an absolutely loves going. My husband and I both see Ron and we are so happy with him. The therapy place has positively impacted all our journeys and we will continue our journey with them.

Allie has been an amazing therapist and support for me over the past several years. She is calm, compassionate, caring and has provided me with some great resources to use. Even when I got my little puppy she let me bring her to the office to ease some of my nerves of leaving her home alone. I would highly recommend Allie and all of the amazing work she does!

I’m so glad I found David as my therapist—he has been instrumental in guiding me through personal challenges. He is great at breaking things down into concrete steps, making it easier to navigate life’s struggles. I also appreciate that each session leaves me with something valuable to reflect on or read, which helps reinforce what we’ve discussed. Even though I’m based in the Lower Mainland, The Therapy Place offers remote counselling sessions, allowing me to work with David seamlessly. I’m grateful to have him as part of my self-improvement journey.

I’ve had a positive experience at the therapy place. The environment is comfortable and puts clients at ease. Everyone at the clinic is very kind and booking appointments is very easy! Allie is an amazing counselling who truly listens to her clients and lets them guide their own journey. I have recommended this clinic to my friends and would recommend to anyone who is in search of a counsellor!
