Therapy
If you are in need of crisis support, please call COAST at 1-877-825-9011, or dial 988 for the Canadian Crisis Helpline, or 911 for emergency services.
At Eagles Nest we offer a short-term affordable therapy program. We provide 15 affordable therapy sessions for adults, youth and children.
Therapy at Eagles Nest involves meeting with a registered psychotherapist or social worker to address difficult emotions and/or life experiences and work towards healthy outcomes in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment.
What to Expect
Therapy is a confidential and unbiased discussion with a therapist about your concerns and goals.
Our therapists will help you work through challenges that you feel are impacting your mental health.
In a therapy session your therapist will help you understand your emotions, break unhealthy habits and thought processes, manage stress and anxiety, develop healthy coping mechanisms, process trauma and identify obstacles to positive mental health.
Therapy is effective at helping people to work through a wide variety of concerns such as depression, generalized anxiety and stress, trauma and post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, relationship challenges and grief or loss.
Our therapy service has certain requirements such as completing several short surveys throughout your sessions as well as a commitment to the goals you set. Your feedback from these surveys helps us to evaluate and improve our programs, as well as secure funding through grants and donations that enables us to provide affordable programs and services.
Child & Youth Therapy
Eagles Nest also offers child and youth therapy. Our therapists offer support for children, aged 6-11, and youth, aged 12-18, facing challenges such as difficult relationships, life transitions, anxiety, family dynamics, self-image and self-esteem, depression and grief. Research indicates that children and youth benefit from the skills and techniques that they learn in therapy to strengthen and support their mental health later in life.
Children and youth can access 15 subsidized sessions with a therapist. Children aged 6-12 will require a more in-depth intake process with their legal guardians. Child and youth therapy may involve parents and/or other family members at the therapist's discretion if they feel it is necessary or would be beneficial for the child or youth.
Scheduling an Appointment
To make an appointment with a therapist, please contact our program team to start the intake process and schedule an initial appointment with the therapist. You may schedule subsequent appointments with your therapist yourself. Both online and in-person appointments are available. Please note that there is a wait list for therapy.
