Counselling

John Fellows mislead us by indicating his services would be eligible for an insurance claim when they were not. Our claim was denied with Great West Life because he is NOT a member of the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, the regulating body for social workers in Ontario. Although he may have a M.S.W. he is not a registered social worker. When we tried to contact him regarding this, he avoided all communication.

I went in with a problem and even though they couldn't help me they still managed to give me an alternative solution.

Maria has helped me through lots of difficult times during my life.... she is very gentle, helpful and all around awesome! I would recommend her to ANYONE needing someone to speak to....

Do not go to Cornerstone, the administration staff are incompetent, the owner is just out to make money any way he can! I called to make an appointment for my son, I told them I had Green Shield coverage and they told me to call Green Shield to see what coverage I had, I did this and called them back and read them what Green Shield told me. The receptionist Amy then recommended Elizabeth Atkinson. I was assured that this was covered, when I went to the appointment I was again assured by Liz herself that Green Shield covers her services, when they went to direct bill Green Shield Liz acted shocked that she was not listed with Green Shield, both she and the receptionist assured me it was covered and gave me a bill and told me to submit it to Green Shield myself. I thought this was odd but I did it anyway, they made me pay the $120 then and there and wouldn't wait for Green Shield to pay me! Turns out Green Shield has told me that Elizabeth Atkinson does not have credentials!!!! There were dozens of other people there that I could have made the appointment with, I told them what my coverage was (its very good coverage by the way) and to recommend someone. They recommended Liz Atkinson! I am now out $120.00. I called and talked to the owner of Cornerstone , a very rude, unprofessional man. He said they did nothing wrong, said his employee never had this conversation with me and called me a liar. He basically said we got a service, that I screwed up and there is nothing he could do, didn't offer to compensate me at all! He was rude and unprofessional, doesn't care about patients at all, just out to make a buck! I told him I was going to report him to every agency possible and he told me he was going to call the police! LMAO Please people DO NOT GO TO CORNERSTONE! There are so many other agencies out there that want to help people and not just make money.

Clarissa is an incredible therapist. She genuinely cares about your issues, and is not only willing to listen, but does a great job of analyzing your problems, and tries to get to the heart of the matter, so that you can overcome your issues and live a better, higher quality of life. She also gives recommendations as to what you can do in between appointments to help overcome what it is that you focused on in that session. You have to be willing to put the work into that, but 90% of all therapy occurs outside of the office. She's also available to e-mail outside of office hours for questions and advice if you're her patient, and her responses are also quite quick. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Stephan Brennan is the modern day equivalent of an old Kung Fu master, leading the reluctant student through the trials of life... But without the Kung Fu. He listens and teaches with compassion, understanding and possesses a keen insight into the vast colours of the human spectrum. I wouldn't be the warrior inside that I am today without his guidance, non-judgmental nature and extreme patience. From now on I'll call him Sensei.
