Counselling Services

We believe that every form of counselling should be backed by science. We provide a practical and holistic approach to boost mood, reduce anxiety, manage anger, break unwanted habits and develop strong, healthy relationships. Neural Network Therapy® emerged in 1997, largely in response to advancements in neuroscience. Emotional health matters.

Our Philosophy in Practice

Emotions are fuel. They're the fuel we use to run our lives. We are addicted to our emotions the way a car is addicted to its fuel. It’s an important part of the equation.

When we're hooked on high-octane happiness, we feel energized, balanced and connected.

When we're hooked on a low crude-oil variety, we feel depressed, anxious, angry or overwhelmed. Our brains are so incredibly efficient that whenever we do anything a whole lot of times in a row, we wire-up a habit.

This wiring-up process is really great because it means we’ve created practical habits and we’re no longer splashing around in the sink like a toddler each time we brush our teeth. Our habits enable us to get busy doing other things. But our brains don’t just wire-up the things we do, they wire-up the way we feel.

The brain cannot tell the difference between something real or imagined. When we’re talking about something that’s happened in the past, our brains are firing-off the very same emotions as though that story was happening right here, right now. And some of us have really great imaginations.

But sometimes… sometimes we get stuck.

We get stuck in the pain of the past and can’t seem to let go. We get stuck in arguments that circle around and around until we’re utterly exhausted. We get stuck in feeling guilty and responsible for everyone and everything. We get stuck in blaming others or looking for ways in which to be offended, and finding them. We get stuck in our lives.

A neural network is a habit that’s formed in the brain. Neural Network Therapy® will forge new and improved habits, in place of old and unwanted ones. You can't unlearn the science of well-being. It just sticks.

If you are curious about this approach, we suggest you schedule your first session and you’ll know pretty quickly if both the Practitioner and the approach are a good fit for you. To speak to someone directly about our services call 705-740-8360.

    Carolyn is wonderful. Very knowledgeable and so helpful. I can't say enough good things. Booking and accessing appointments is super easy. I would definitely recommend Carolyn to any family or individual who needs someone to talk to and who you know will be there for you when you need them.

    The Counsellors have great compassion to help people and to teach the skills of self-care. I would highly recommend them for their work in counselling and education.

    I have been a long time client of Canadian Family Health Collective. I have grown so much in many ways with learning and development areas in my personal life and professional career. They have great services for counselling and have taught me how to nurture well-being. I love the feed on Facebook.

    The entire CFHC Team is amazing!!

    Would definitely recommend the Canadian Family Health Collective! The Grow Happy program is also part of the organization. This program teaches kids about how moods are contagious, while also teaching them about healthy, mood-boosting foods, and encouraging them to learn to grow and share their own food. Truly wonderful, starting this mental health education with kids and through to adulthood!

    I am always impressed with their approach to counseling. I leave feeling like I understand better what is happening and what I can do to change my situation. The whole concept of creating new neuro pathways by thinking new thoughts and doing new things is brilliant and makes so much sense to me . It really helps me to understand and feel like I am in control of my own life. I can control what I do today to begin to set up a new and better future for myself . This has literally changed my life .

    I first learned about the Canadian Family Health Collective in 2019. I was really pleased when they expanded their services abroad in 2020, so much so I had to get involved in their Emotional Health Matters project. Highly recommend their teachings and services. Life-changing.

  • Edith F.

    Canadian Family Health Counselling, good therapy is all about helping the client to feel better, to make healthy decisions and set healthy boundaries, to move from a place of poor emotional health to good emotional health, to make connections with others, and to replace sadness, anxiety, anger, and frustration with happiness, peace, and hopefulness for the future. I feel the Canadian Family Health team works very hard at meeting these goals. I would highly recommend Canadian Family Health.

  • Winston B.

    Canadian Family Health Counselling is a wonderful group of talented practitioners that knows their stuff. I have worked with them for over 4 years and always insightful sessions.. I do see one negative review however I think they must be talking about another company as this one is probably the one I would trust the most with billing etc. Anyways, Kim and the staff members are excellent to work with on a down to earth level.

  • Samantha P.

    Amazing, they changed my life and my families, along with many others.

    I have never met an organization that is so caring and willing to help out the community. They go above and beyond!!

  • Judie W.

    I highly recommend Ms. Sargeant and her practice. She truly cares, listens, and offers great insight. She is honest, kind and yet still has a talent for helping you to examine yourself, your choices, and your relationships, with life changing applications.

  • Tom L.
