Counselling Across Simcoe County
Balanced Life Therapy has one office, at 27 Gowan Street in Barrie, and a service area that reaches from Georgian Bay down to the northern edge of the GTA. The pages below cover each community we serve, how to reach us from it, and who you would be working with.

Coming to us from across the county
One office and a wide catchment means most of the people we work with are travelling to get here, or choosing not to. Both are normal ways to use the practice.
Sessions run in person at 27 Gowan Street, or by secure video anywhere in Ontario, and you are not asked to pick one and stay with it. For a lot of people outside Barrie the appeal is having both available — video for the weeks when an hour in the car is not realistic, and a room to go to when being there in person matters more than being efficient about it.
Worth knowing: not every service is offered virtually by every clinician, and couples sessions in particular have fewer virtual options. The free 20-minute consultation is where we work out the format and the therapist together.
