 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been using strength counselling services for about a year. When I first contacted them, I dealt with Amanda as I was really looking for the right fit and the right therapist. Amanda talked to me and really took the time to understand my needs and concerns and she suggested the perfect fit for me. Meena. Meena is an exceptional therapist. She’s easy going, real, honest, direct, cool and has a way about her that matches me and my needs. She cares. She’s realistic and she’s understanding. She explains things differently and in a way I understand and comprehend. I’ve worked with several other therapists and it never seem to fit. She’s truly the best. Amanda was great too. She really matched me well and if you’re in the same boat where you want a therapist and want guidance on who’s best…. Chatting Amanda first:).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I began counselling with a Strength Counselling Services psychotherapist about 6 months ago and continue to use the service. My assigned therapist was easy to establish a rapport with in building a successful and trusting therapeutic relationship. The counselling / therapy has provided me with knowledge, new insights, and life changing decisions and continues to do so.  In addition to a positive and successful therapeutic relationship, I was provided with valuable and useful psychoeducational resources to compliment therapy and personal self growth. Strongly recommend reaching out to Strength Counselling Services therapist for any mental health related issues.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After struggling for 40 years and countless therapists, Shari was the one to help me in five months. I still have work to do and Strength Counselling Services helped me. Shari honestly has helped me function and learn to regulate my emotions. I'm impressed and sincerely appreciative of her expertise and kindness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly can’t say enough good things about my therapist, Meena, and the whole team at Strength Counselling Services. Meena has helped me so much - she’s by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. I love her approach, the way she listens, supports, and challenges me when I need it. I’m genuinely so grateful I found her. The entire admin team is also amazing - they’re super friendly, organized, and always make things so easy to deal with.  If you’re thinking about reaching out, I can’t recommend them enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I learnt about Strength Couselling services through a friend and gave it a shot! They ask you a series of questions to get to know what you are looking for throughout this process and match you with someone they think would be a good match. From there, you fill out a very in depth intake form. Things move in a very timely manner and I got matched with Gabrielle. She has been nothing short of amazing! She’s been exactly what I’ve been looking for in a counsellor and we’ve gained a huge bond in just 2 short sessions. I was also having issues with my insurance company and Amanda was so quick to respond and help me get it sorted out. She even hopped on a call with my insurance and advocated for me so well to get things sorted, and done in a timely matter. She also advocated and provided all necessary documents to prevent any future issues! All in all, if you are looking for an amazing counseling service, I would HIGHLY recommend Strength. They are all so wonderful!!
