Low-Cost Counselling

Everyone deserves quality mental health care

Mental health services are not accessible to many people. Everyone should have access to quality mental health services when they need it.  I am happy to partner with graduate students to offer low-cost counselling appointments to those in need.

How does this work?

Psychology/counselling graduate students require supervised practice as part of their degree requirements. Students are very interested in learning and developing their clinical skills. Because they are still in training, we are able to offer their services at reduced rates

All graduate interns at Hopeful Horizons are under the direct supervision of Ashley Bishop Lapierre, Registered Psychologist, and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C).

Graduate interns have a special interest in women's mental health and train in this specialty area as part of their internship. I only take on students with whom I feel confident about their therapeutic knowledge and skills.

Quality Counselling Care

Graduate intern therapists can offer ethical and effective counselling services. The quality of your counselling experience is not jeopardized by working with a student. In fact, many students are eager to learn and spend a lot of time reflecting and preparing for client sessions.

Furthermore, all client work is overseen by a Registered Psychologist. You get the two of us on your team.
