Counselling in Angus and Essa Township
This page covers Angus, Baxter, Thornton, Ivy, Minesing and Essa Township. Our office is at 27 Gowan Street in Barrie; sessions are also available virtually anywhere in Ontario.

Angus
Getting to us from Angus
County Road 90 east into Barrie, then north on Bayfield Street to Gowan Street. Approximately 20 kilometres.
If travelling is not practical, sessions are also available by secure video anywhere in Ontario.

In person or online
Virtual, in person, or both
Sessions run in person at 27 Gowan Street in Barrie, or by secure video anywhere in Ontario. You are not asked to choose one at the start and stay with it.
If you live outside Barrie that may be the part that matters most — video for a week when the drive is not realistic, and an office to come to when you would rather be in the room. Tell us which you would prefer when you book, and say if you would like the option of both.
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 that out with you.
If you are connected to CFB Borden
Whether you are serving, reserve, civilian staff, or a partner or family member, every service on this page is open to you. That includes First Responder Therapy, PTSD Therapy and Trauma Therapy — and EMDR with an EMDR-trained clinician.
Coverage varies by plan. Check with your insurer about what your benefits include before booking.
