Extended Counselling Services

Extended Counselling Services

If the goals identified in Brief Services have not been achieved, additional sessions are available through Extended Counselling/Therapy Services. These services are offered in person, as well as virtually. Prior to beginning the counselling, consents and risks and benefits of service are discussed. Services that are to be delivered are determined in consultation between client(s) and the clinician resulting in the creating of a treatment plan. Goals are identified and progress toward these are evaluated in each session using FIT (Feedback Informed Treatment). Service Reviews are conducted as part of the evaluation of the counselling to ensure identified needs are being addressed. When service is concluded, a Summary Plan is created with the client which outlines progress made and recommendations for future service needs to be addressed..

Benefits

  • Provided through a trauma Informed perspective
  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion are taken into account.
