How we got Started
This clinic was born out of a passion for making mental health a priority in an increasingly complex world. Working in both the mental health and education professions over the years, Ms Hope saw that there was a need for a greater level of therapeutic support for children, adolescents and adults. Working in the local school board as a teacher, consultant and psycho-educational assessment specialist added a breadth and depth to Ms Hope's understanding that we all need support to get through challenging times.
Her experiences and observations highlighted the need for a holistic and patient-centered approach to wellness. As a Psychotherapist, adding the use of art to her practice has extended her ability to offer healing beyond words. Sometimes we don't have the words to explain the feelings that we hold within our minds and our bodies, so art becomes a bridge to a greater level of self-understanding and expression.
My Commitment to You
Inclusive and Individualized
At the clinic in Peterborough, every client - regardless of culture, creed, sexual orientation/identification and/or belief system, is more than just a name on a file. There is a firm belief in the power of compassionate, personalized mental health care. You do not have to be alone, nor feel alone. Reach out for a free consultation and let's see if we are a good fit.
