How We Help

Counselling is a collaborative process between you and your therapist. The goal of counselling is to “feel better” about you, your present situation, your future, and possibly, your past. Regardless of the events that have transpired in your life; you deserve to feel strong and confident in your decisions about “what comes next.”

A solution focused approach to psychotherapy, enables you to process events in your life, develop new understanding about the events, and to determine your best “next steps,” so that you may find peace.

Both Cheryl and Jill believe in meeting you where you are and walking with you along your path, offering skill and experience stretching over 25 years each.
