Counselling

A life changing counselling... My life story (quick): I've had OCD for all my life and it was getting debilitating for me and people around me. My sister recommended Sarah and she cured my OCD in a year! Highly recommended.

Johanna is a fantastic counsellor. Always professional, organized and extremely helpful. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking counselling services.

Love both Johanna and Mariella. Very professional and accommodating. Sometimes its not easy hearing the truth, but that's 1 reason why we go to counseling, to help us heal.

Warm and insightful. She has helped me come to terms with issues from my past, discover things about myself, make better decisions, and be happier overall. Highly recommended

Seeing any therapist is not a quick fix to life's problems. It takes time, work and lots of patience as it takes almost 5 sessions to get comfortable with the person you are seeing. From the moment I met with Paul, I knew I made the right choice for psychotherapy. I have been seeing Paul for over 2.5 years and I can't be more grateful. In 2014, I was diagnosed with PTSD. My doctor prescribed anti-depressants and wanted me to see a psychiatrist that only wanted to add more drugs to the mix and stated that my issues were from my childhood. I decided to follow my own path and seek the assistance of Paul, who also utilizes EMDR in therapy. My sessions were not covered by my insurance but I knew I was investing in myself. Paul helped me understand the organic nature of PTSD. He helped me understand the root cause of this mental disorder. He helped me change my thought pattern from wanting to die to seeing why I need to continue to live. Paul has been most helpful, understanding and compassionate. The time spent with him is worth every moment of my time. He has saved me from the thought that wanting to die was an statement of expression on a declaration of intent. If we see a dentist for out teeth, a doctor for our physical health, then why not go see Paul for your mental health.

I have been working with Paul since December 2013 when my marriage was falling apart. Since then, he has become rock. His way of helping me see things objectively while providing me with tools to grow in strength and motivation have gotten me through some incredibly difficult times. His friendly demeanor and wisdom make every session feel like a good talk with an old friend, yet I come away with hope and vision that he instills in me. Highly recommended!

The Mississauga office has convenient hours and parking which is accommodating for my busy schedule. TFEC counselors are very attentive and really easy to talk to. It's amazing to actually see and feel the positive changes that come from working with TFEC counsellors.
