Who We Serve

Therapy services for every stage of life

Glebe Counselling offers a warm, integrative approach to therapy that supports clients through every stage of life—from children and youth to adults, families, couples, and seniors.

From the first session, we work with clients to understand what brings them to therapy, identify where they would like to go, and develop a clear therapeutic plan. A plan that starts with a beginning, middle, and end—helping clients feel supported as they start, guided as they grow, and empowered as they move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Adults & Individuals

Navigating the complexities of adulthood can be challenging. Our adult therapy services offer a collaborative space to work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and difficult life transitions. We provide evidence-based, compassionate counselling to help you process your experiences, build emotional resilience, and foster meaningful personal growth.

Every therapist is different, but you can always expect a collaborative and welcoming environment. During your first session, you will meet to discuss your specific challenges and receive support in a compassionate way.

The duration of therapy is highly individual and depends entirely on your specific goals. Some clients engage in short-term therapy to navigate a specific life transition, process a recent change, or develop targeted coping strategies. Others prefer longer-term, ongoing support to work through deeper relational dynamics, process past experiences, and build lasting emotional resilience. You and your therapist will regularly review your progress to ensure the timeline makes sense for your needs.

University Students

Balancing academic pressure, campus life, and new independence can often lead to overwhelming stress and burnout. Our student mental health counselling provides a supportive space to navigate anxiety, academic stress, relationship challenges, and the uncertainty of life after graduation. We offer a practical, integrative approach to therapy to help you manage the unique demands of university life and prioritize your well-being.

You must be a student in a post-secondary institution. We support students enrolled full-time and part-time in colleges, universities, and apprenticeships across Canada.

No, there is no limit! You can see an intern therapist as long as they are at Glebe and as long as you are a student.

Any of our intern therapists offer counselling for students through our Student Care Fund.

Children

Early mental health support is vital for a child's well-being. Because children often communicate and process their experiences differently than adults, our children’s therapy services incorporate the expressive modalities that work best for them, including play, art, and music therapy techniques. These engaging, age-appropriate approaches help young clients explore big feelings, improve emotional regulation, and navigate behavioral challenges in a safe environment. We work alongside families to foster resilience and support healthy development. We also offer music therapy facilitated by a certified music therapist.

We offer play and art informed therapy, music therapy, and talk-based therapy. Your therapist may use a combination of any of these modalities to best support you and your child.

We see children between the ages of 4 and 12. If you think your child might benefit from therapy but are unsure, call us today at 226-898-4016.

Adolescents

Adolescence is a critical period of transition and identity development. Teen and youth counselling helps young people navigate academic stress, peer dynamics, self-esteem issues, and mood-related concerns. We provide a safe and collaborative environment where teens can feel heard, explore their personal narratives, and develop healthy coping strategies.

In Ontario, there is no general age of consent to treatment or counselling; rather, the distinguishing factor of whether someone can engage in therapy depends on whether the young person can willingly consent. This will be discerned by the therapist. 

No. Unfortunately, the student rate we offer of $35/session only applies to those who hold a university or college email.

Couples

Couple and/or marriage therapy is a chance for you and your partner/spouse to sit together with a therapist to discuss what is negatively affecting your relationship. Your therapist will support you and your partner to understand and appreciate each other’s experiences, learn new skills and address the current challenges. Addressing your current challenges will also help you find greater satisfaction and happiness in your relationship. The length of time spent in therapy will depend on your relationship concerns.

Sessions can range between 50 and 90 minutes depending on your needs. Please discuss session length with your therapist. 

The therapist acts as a third-party facilitator. Their goal is to help couples seek understanding, not to decide who is right and wrong.

Families

Family relationships deeply shape our lives, but communication breakdowns, life transitions, and ongoing conflicts can create distance. Our family therapy services provide a collaborative, neutral space to untangle complex relational dynamics and shift negative interaction cycles. We help families improve communication, foster secure emotional connections, and navigate challenges together, working as a team to rebuild trust and strengthen family bonds.

Family therapy offers a safe space for families experiencing emotional stress, conflict, and challenges, to heal and grow. It is not a sign of failure but rather a sign of strength! Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts by unpacking family dynamics and narratives. Family therapy can help improve family relationships, build healthy boundaries, and help families operate a unit. Some issues families may be facing include conflicts between family members, separation or divorce, grief, substance use, and other mental health challenges.
