| - I've given this establishment several chances during a few phases of my life, and it honestly did little to help. In fact, I felt worse walking out than I did walking in. I've been through 4 different counsellors during my times here...none were suited for me, sadly. One psychologist didn't even call me back after I had troubles trying to make appointments. Flexibility? Ha, maybe for those who work part time and live close by...
The cost is okay. They calculate it off of your income, or lack thereof. If you have cut hours or reduced pay rate, most of the time they will accommodate. If you want a different counsellor because you are unhappy with the progress, you have to reapply and do the admission process all over again. They cannot "transfer" you - it's against policy or something.
The therapy is very stilted. It is not like the therapy I used to have, which actually helped me previously. The therapy here is very rigid, not very indepth (i.e. delving into emotions, feelings, your past, etc), and more focused on exercises to help "release any negative feelings" should they arise. I feel like they never really get to the core of the problem and they're just trying to guise whatever is happening and simply push it aside.
If you're in dire need of help, by all means do get whatever help you can. This place may be able to help you, even for just a bit. If you want a real recovery, though - I'd go elsewhere.
