Harbourside Family Counseling (HFC) is a multidisciplinary health centre that provides services to people of all ages, skills and abilities.
Our services are uniquely designed to enhance resilience, health, and quality of life for every client.
Adults
Whether you are looking to enhance your sense of fulfillment in life, address low motivation, anxiety, or relationship problems, or a host of other ups and downs that life presents us with, our counsellors offer a variety of solutions and techniques to support you in reaching your goals. We can help you navigate the most serious of mental health challenges, such as grief, depression, trauma or loss, with the end goal of meeting your full potential and increasing the level of happiness and joy in your life.
SERVICES FOR ADULTS
Mental Wellness
Our counsellors view each client through a lens of mental wellness. What does that mean for your counselling process? Through the techniques supported by the latest science, we help you to develop the tools and skills to uncover the health and happiness that already reside within you. So, whether you’re affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment problems, or any other mental health concern, we are here to help you not only bounce back but to live an expansive and meaningful life.
Parenting Support And Counselling
Being a parent is not easy. Many of the parents we see tell us that the decision to work with a counsellor or therapist was one of the best parenting decisions they have made. Our counsellors can provide you with the support and resources you need to be the best parent possible. We specialize in an attachment and strengths based approach. That means we help you to develop a strong parent-child relationship by focusing on and amplifying the strengths that already exist.
Marital and Relationship Counselling
No matter the cause, distress in a relationship can create undue stress, tension, sadness, worry and fear. Couples therapy helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts, communicate better, problem solve and negotiate differences.
FAMILY THERAPY
Our family life is fundamental to our emotional health and personal growth. If your family is going through a tough time — whether it's from stress, anger, grief or other struggles — family therapy can make a difference. Our clinicians help families to build connection and resilience through approaches that will support you towards real and lasting change. Methods like Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Systems Therapy, Attachment Centred Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are well proven to make a transformative difference. Family therapy focuses on helping each person understand, learn to communicate better and work through conflicts.
COGMED BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING
The Cogmed training program was developed by the world’s leading neuroscientists and psychologists to improve working memory functions, creating a cognitive platform for behavioural improvement. Cogmed has shown to result in significant academic and behavioural improvements in children with ADHD and other developmental disorders, including improved impulse control, reduction in hyperactivity, stronger language development skills and better complex reasoning skills, as well as increased focus and improved professional performance in healthy individuals.
MEDITATION TRAINING
Meditation has fast become a popular approach to developing a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health. Anyone can practice meditation. It's simple and inexpensive, and available to you anywhere, anytime. At HFC we offer weekly group meditation trainings or one-on-one teaching to support you towards developing a daily, consistent practice for a lifetime of vast benefit.
