Counselling
At CWCLN, we believe access to mental health care should feel safe, affirming and responsive to the people and communities seeking support.
As part of our commitment to wellness and community care, CWCLN works with trusted counselling and psychotherapy partners to help create pathways to culturally responsive mental health support.
Counselling and psychotherapy services are provided independently by qualified professionals through our partner organizations. CWCLN does not directly provide clinical counselling or psychotherapy services.
Whether you are looking for support in Ottawa or Toronto, you can learn more about our counselling partners below and connect directly with the provider that is right for you.
