All our counsellors are certified and licensed to practice, that we have worked in a serious, thoughtful and sustained way to master the specialized knowledge that needed to succeed in mental health profession (where appropriate, have the degrees and certifications that serve as the foundation of this knowledge); and that we keep this knowledge up-to-date, committed and continuously develop and improve our skills and competency, so that we can continue to deliver the best work possible to our clients. We exhibit qualities of honesty and integrity in our work. We practice within our expertise and if the client’s concern and issues falls outside our scope of expertise, we are not afraid to admit it and refer it to the right professionals, where appropriate.
