First Responders

Counselling & Psychotherapy for First Responders

Support & Advocacy

We offer a wide range of mental health services, support, and information for First Responders. Our clinicians have training and experience in working with the unique cultures and challenges faced by First Responders, such as law enforcement officers, paramedics, EMT’s (emergency medical technicians), and firefighters. We work with emergency department personnel, such as nurses and doctors, and others who are required to respond to disasters and critical situations.

Our clinicians treat a range of issues, such as anger difficulties, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship difficulties, substance abuse, and problems with work-life balance.

The most important thing to realize is that you are not alone – help is often just a phone call away.
