Reviews
I have had the pleasure of working with the staff of Georgetown Counselling Centre for the last 3 years. The staff at the centre are truly amazing. They are all incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. They offer a wide range of services and are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you receive the best care possible. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, or any other issue, you can trust that you’re in good hands.
I highly recommend Georgetown Counselling Centre to anyone seeking support and guidance. Their commitment to excellence and genuine care for their clients make them a standout choice in the field of counselling.

Slow responses from the scheduler. Screws up times. Makes zero effort to make it right. Then can’t see you for another 6 weeks.
Nice peoples good food for everyone.
Great job
Great job
Unfortunately the educational assessment was a complete waste of time and money, done by an inexperienced provisional therapist. Had further testing done elsewhere at an additional cost. Much more in-depth, more specific questions asked. Unfortunately once some of the testing is “done” it can’t be repeated in a set time making a 2nd opinion more difficult and more time consuming. So be careful where you get it done. Many things were missed and there was a huge discrepancy in diagnosis. 1st appointment easy to book, follow up appointments more difficult. Positive, nice ppl nice office.
I am very satisfied with my experience at Brant Mental Health Solutions. My son and I both use the counselling services. We are both comfortable with our respective counsellors and have seen positive results.
The first point of contact is the receptionist and the girls I have had the pleasure of dealing with are beyond amazing! Everyone who comes in is greeted with a smile by name. It makes it feel personal and welcoming.
I would highly recommend BMHS to anyone who is looking for a place to get the help they need.

Hello to you dear ones
I visited, but they gave very little food for six people, 2 pieces of fruit, a can of milk, an envelope of macaroni, a Cyrillic for children and a little tarkari and that's it.

Brant Mental Health Solutions has been amazing. They have a wide range of services which have been very helpful for me. I do tell my friends and family about BMHS. Everyone I have encountered have been warm and welcoming.
Alicia is awesome. She has helped right from my intial visit. Highly recommend sitting and talking with her.
I have been fortunate enough to be welcomed into this establishment. I have visited a few times,and everytime I am met with open arms and made to feel very welcome. The staff are very kind and generous. Iv seen the staff treat everyone there with respect and dignity and humanity. They have a very challenging job,as some visitors can be very rude and entitled/ I'm sure this is due to the stress of having to visit a food bank in the first place/ but even still, they are treated kindly. The food I received is always good quality and they even meet my dietary restrictions. I am very grateful for this establishment and for the staff that operate it.
Canadian's shouldn't have to encounter such rude and discriminating people to put food on their table. I was told to " don't touch but right in my face, the Muslim man is told to " take " He proceeded and filled his buggy.
Food bank was very welcoming and safe. I got the food and it was a very simple and clean process, and I didnt feel out of place. I highly reccomend this place. they give the food you need, they do it quickly, and consistantly. I highly recommend
incredible experience with great service, they did a great job at making sure the experiance was unbiased and they haneded the food out very evenly it was great! I highly reccomend 10/10.
Extremely rude and unpolite people, we went to ask about food bank & wanted to get information about it but a lady working there was behaving very rudely with everyone, not even answering a question properly really unprofessional, if you can not do the job than step back and leave it rather than having such unkind bahviour with people, hopefully the authorities will notice and hire some professional and well mannered people to do their job with kindness!!!
I've been a client here for a year now. After many decades of looking for help and dealing with sub-par therapists and their businesses, I was very happy to discover Brant Mental Health Solutions. Amy and her staff go above and beyond to help you and make you feel welcome.
Everyone is so kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, personable, and just fun to be around!
I would recommend them to anybody going through any kind of mental health issues.
Another reviewer mentioned "oppressive", and I'm not sure that they are talking about the correct place, as I've said they go above and beyond to make sure you have all the help you need to succeed!

I had several different counselors within Calgary and out of province throughout my years for traumatic life happenings that I had difficulties processing on my own. Jeremiah is no doubt one of the best and most experienced counselor in Calgary. He is relatable, personable, humorous (during appropriate times), and well educated in utilizing the most effective strategies for my situation.
I have been coming here for several years and began with seeing Yoshie Martinez who is an amazing counsellor. She is kind, compassionate, and understanding. In my experience she goes above and beyond for her clients and you can tell how passionate she is about what she does! I have also seen several other therapists in this office including students and have had nothing but amazing experiences. The environment is very warm and welcoming. I find it very helpful that many of the counsellors have come from different specialties with differing skills sets prior to becoming therapists. Each of them have had their own unique client-centred approach. Sessions have always been on time and I have been notified of any scheduling changes in advance. I have no complaints with my experience and highly recommend this place for anyone seeking therapy!
This is an oppressive organization and the entire staff reflects the lack of diversity and lack of knowledge that comes with that diversity. As a trans and neurodivergent person I do not believe this is a safe place for people from marginalized communities.
So glad we found Georgetown counselling.
Such a wonderful team!
All of my interactions with this clinic have been extremely positive.
I am currently seeing Alicia. She’s very compassionate and is warm and lovely to talk with.
We have also attended a couples workshop here which was great also.
Highly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs therapy for themselves, their family or their children.

Not easy to deal with mental health related to work stress. And not easy to find someone we can trust. But Jordon Iorio has been of great help. He is very knowledgeable and his approach is very effective. He has worked in collaboration with my family doctor and thank to his support I was to feel better in only few months. I can't thank him and his team enough for their professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend his services.
There should be a 10 start option for Carrie!
There are so many words to describe her but if I had to choose 2 words they would be positive influencer!
Definition of a positive influencer is- a sensitive or empathetic individual and an excellent communicator whom is real with her professional services! 💗
I’ve seen Carrie for over 23 years on and off. I would not be who I am today or not be where I am today in my healing!
Thank you for being you Carrie!

Kira is wonderful. Knows about all types of mental health with kids. Would highly recommend her.
Andrea Stupak is a great therapist, she always shows up on time for appointments and I always feel a lot better after talking with her.
Worst experience ever.
Staff needs counselling before they book someone else.

Ottawa Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre is a great place where you can find counsellors with a variety of different skills and specializations. I really felt heard and that they were genuine and respectful. I would highly recommend contatcting them.
I had my first in person session with Aisley and it went better then I expected I was extremely nervous but Aisley was super kind and welcoming! I’ve never experienced therapy before but she made me feel comfortable and was a great listener. I will definitely be back to see her.
Formal grievances solve nothing, according to therapists abusers are allowed to punch holes in doors and hit their children in the back of the heads with it. Therapy solves nothing and therapists will not attend to identified needs.
Had a terrible family therapy experience with them and did not even intend to get with this agency spring 2022 do not use this service.

My husband went to see Alyssa J. Very unprofessional. Made up last minute excuses 4 times in a row to cancel appointments. 3 out of 4 times he was already present for his appointments. 20 minutes drive to get there. Excellent way to make a depressed person feel better. If I can give her advice for the future.. If you don't feel like you are in a position to help someone, then you should tell them instead of wasting precious time.
I had Mo for counselling and she was incredible. I am so glad I contacted this service because I have put off counselling for so long due to medical reasons. She was so uplifting and I just couldn’t recommend this place enough. A much better session than what I’ve had at many previous private practices.
The fact that you guys are staying open for in person appointments is amazing! I and I'm sure many of your patients really appreciate it! A big thank you to all the staff!
Georgetown Counselling has changed my life. My counsellor is professional, authentic, and flexible. She has helped me make and reach my goals. 10/10 would recommend.
My family and I are so grateful to have this amazing team help our family get through many ups and downs especially this past year. Thank You for all your positivity and everything you do for us❣️🙏🏻
Amazing. Our doctor sent us here and said it was the best in the city. Very happy we came here.
Paige was our therapist but was so disappointed with her lack of professionalism and lack of communication. Her sessions were just chats and she never addressed any of the concerns. She would cancel at the last minute. If I asked for details of sessions she would send me a YouTube video. What a disgrace to the profession.
New Life Counselling has helped me make it though some of my toughest life events/experiences. If you are looking for a registered professional counsellor I would definitely recommended Jeremiah. Thank you for listening and for everything you have done for me, I really do appreciate it.
Carrie is a compassionate, caring and brilliant counselor - I admire and respect her a great deal!
What I appreciate the most about Jeremiah is that he will help you identify the root causes of your issues. I feel like I have grown so much and have become so much more self aware and Jeremiah has really helped me see my true potential. He genuinely wants to help his clients to be the best versions they can be of themselves and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!
I'm not sure if this place is the Calgary Catholic Family Services or not because looks like there's a name change. Anyway, I was there some years ago and had a counselor I had an issue with. I brought it up to her supervisor and the way it was dealt was with was ineffective. Very upsetting experience.
If I could give 1 star I would. Daniel was our counselor and did not represent the best interest of my family in any way shape or form. Our family was damaged by a traumatic event and instead of allowing us to establish a certain level of expectation regarding certain parties in our family that have a history of being impulsive liars and psychologically and physically harmful to other members of the family, he ignored our wishes to provide court documents to prove why the other parties would be damaging to the experience.
He refused to let us show documentation to set the expectation we were looking for and refused to hear us out when we tried to tell him that there was documented proof via Child and Family Services on why the other party should have limited access to the sessions as their participation was more damaging to the other parties than it was beneficial.
Apparently it is impossible to find understanding, and non-female biased counselling aid in this city, what could we have expected with a Christian based counseling center.
This experience was upsetting, time wasting, and Daniel was blatantly biased and refused to let us speak with him one-on-one because he thought it would be better in the long run.
Will not be using this service again, and will be telling friends, families, and co-workers to avoid at all costs.

Richard Anton is an amazing, empathetic, pragmatic and positive psychologist. I highly recommend his services!!!
CFS is a very warm and friendly environment. I always feel welcome when I come in for my appointment. My therapist, Beatrice, has a PhD in psychology and many years of experience, and meeting with her has done wonders for my health and well-being. There is no beating around the bush with her, she tells me straight up what she thinks, and gently guides me to come to my own conclusions and decision making. Her honesty and integrity, along with a strong sense of trustworthiness, has helped me to move through some very challenging issues in my life. I do not think I would have been able to manage them on my own, and am extremely grateful for her services. I also like the freedom to book my appointments on-line, and the hour and a half sessions provide ample time to really get to the heart of the matter, so I can leave feeling heard, validated, with a renewed spirit of optimism. Thank you CFS for all your hard work. Well done!
Excellent service! Love the text reminders of appointments.
I attended the Never Too Late graduations in Forest Lawn and Bowness and was absolutely left speechless by the tenacious efforts by students and teachers. Adults who are determined to get their High School equivalency and teachers who are determined to take a different approach to teaching. It really is a program that changes lives.
I had a great experience taking this corse with my wife before we got hitched. Jeremiah was an awesome counselor and we learned alot from him. Thanks again Jeremiah!
I
Had no food call in and he told me come Monday but Monday was too far so she told me to
Come the same day and I was surprised. He was friendly nice and gave me a lot of food . Very thankful. Can’t remember his name and the help but they were both good. One thing I don’t like is you can go once a month for food..... I am happy. And the guy didn’t treat me any different. Anyone who in need of food should go there ...

What I appreciate the most about Jeremiah, is how relatable he is. He takes time to not only listen, but also make sure your comfortable with the process. I find his prices to be very affordable and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Christina is amazing, very happy with all my sessions thus far and well worth your money. I somehow can cry during my session but leave feelings whole hearted and more knowledgeable about how to handle hard situations and better control my emotions. I'm excited to see what 2019 brings with the help and tools I now have to move in a positive direction. The scheduling is fairly flexible and she was willing to see how see could change around her personal schedule if we couldn't get in which was also a nice gesture. In the last 3 months I have learned how to not let negative people or negative things that happen effect how your will positively move forward, and not let the situations allow you to have negative thoughts or feelings, which I think a lot more people should know about. Even if you are not struggling I would encourage you (especially if you have benefits) to allow yourself to go to a session or sessions just to see things in another perspective and allow yourself to be positive.
Wonderful people, Georgetown Counselling is amazing!
Sogol is a vey nice person and professional counsellor. I learned a lot from her during our sessions. She hugely helped me out to find my personal problems. She saved my life. Thank you so much Sogol!
What a great team! I felt very comfortable coming here for support and would recommend this center to others.
Catholic Family Services harmed me in the worst possible way; a full fledged re-traumatization. I am now suffering further trauma as a direct result and have lost all faith in humanity. I highly recommend secretly recording sessions and ordering your notes later on to make sure they are in sync. Even better, I recommend writing notes together with your therapist and demanding a copy at the end of every session.
We have been taking our sons to the North location for four years. It started as an evaluation and has turned into ongoing visits. I am very happy with the Psychologists and staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Family Psychology Place to any friends or family.
We've had 2 assessments done at the Southland location. Other people I know have as well. We went to a new Psych place and they took a look at the assessment and said they didn't finish it. Where is the rest of his diagnosis? Apparently, when you get a diagnosis of one thing there is always another part of it. Would have helped my son out so much if we'd known that. Also they told us about $3000 but they kept adding on. Closer to $4000 by time they finished. Going to Moroz now they are awesome!
I took my youngest daughter for consultation to this place. The psychologist named Sarah took an hour to note down the details of the problem that my daughter was having. It was the first session and no diagnostic test was carried out. However, I was surprised to see her come up with a hefty amount that would cost us to get her treated. I checked with my family doctor and he told me to keep away as no one could predict the cost of any medical treatment prior to confirmed diagnosis.
