Affirming care for 2SLGBTQIA+ adults, youth, relationships and families.

Reduced-Fee Counselling Services

We have a Master’s Level Social Work Student at Centrepeace from September 2023 to April 2024. They are offering in-person and virtual counselling at reduced rates (based on a sliding scale). Our students are supervised by Pamela Bailey, BSW, MSW, RSW. 
 
Our students see youth ages 10-25, adults, families from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. They are able to take on clients who are dealing with anxiety and depression symptoms, struggles with self regulation, family issues, relationship strain, life transitions, identity exploration, discrimination, racism, transphobia, homophobia, and more.
 
**Most insurance companies will cover the cost of counselling by a student therapist while under the supervision of a Registered Social Worker. Please check with your insurance company before initiating therapy to confirm your coverage.**
