Learn moreThree steps to getting started
Different experiences. Different symptoms. One guiding principle — to meet you exactly where you are and help you move forward.
We listen first
In your first sessions, we take time to understand your full picture — your history, your circumstances, and what you're actually looking for from therapy. Nothing is assumed.
We work together
Using evidence-informed approaches — trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy — we work on what matters most to you, at your pace.
You move forward
As the work takes hold, things shift. You develop new tools, clearer footing, and a stronger sense of what you're anchored to — so you can keep moving on your own terms.
"Wherever you are starting from, we'll meet you there."
Ancrage CounsellingYou may
recognize yourself
People arrive here with very different stories. Some have been struggling for months. Others for years. Whatever has brought you here, you will be met with curiosity and care — not judgment.
You may be wondering...Our approach is direct and tailored to you — not a script. Brigitte and Ali both bring decades of real-world clinical experience and won't waste your time with approaches that aren't working. If something isn't helping, we say so and adjust.
That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation is for. You don't need to arrive with a diagnosis or a clear agenda. We'll ask questions, listen, and help figure out together what would be most useful.
We don't believe in ceilings. Many of the clients we work with have heard that before — and found that with the right support, real, lasting change is possible. We won't make promises, but we won't give up on you either.
We offer a sliding scale and a free initial consultation — and we will never pressure you into a commitment that doesn't work for your life. Many clients are also able to claim sessions through their extended health benefits as RSW services.
Yes — genuinely. Brigitte is a fluent bilingual clinician who works in English and French. You can reach out, book, and attend all sessions entirely in French. Francophone clients across Ontario are warmly welcome.
