What is Professional Counselling?
Treatment in which a trained, certified professional, a therapist, uses psychological techniques to help someone overcome psychological difficulties and disorders, resolve problems in living, or bring about personal growth.
Our Mission:
Opening Doors means freedom of choice. Our services are private and confidential. The focus is not only on the person but on the person's family and community. Opening Doors Counselling offers a way to healthier options for living. "Often we find ourselves trapped in unhealthy and destructive behaviours that render us helpless to aspire to live happier lives. We aims to provide information and skills with which to open the doors of the mind and heart to new possibilities and choices."
Opening Doors Counselling has twenty years experience including marriage and family counselling. We believes taking the first step towards healing should be made as easy as possible, therefore our fees are very affordable and often covered by insurance plans. Please call to discuss you individual needs.
