At the core of every person is a deep desire and need to connect with others and to have a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Often, chronic invalidation and unhealed wounds from the past create barriers to those needs, instead creating additional challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and a sense of isolation and helplessness.
At Validity, we help EMPOWER you to regain your sense of hope and control in life. Working with your counsellor, you will identify the barriers holding you back and learn transformative new skills to help you overcome those barriers.
Through this process, you will become equipped to navigate whatever challenges life may throw at you, enjoying greater connection, calm, and clarity.

Master's-level counsellors
At Validity, we believe that education and the use of evidence-based counselling methods are extremely important for client success. Being highly-trained and specialized at a Master's degree level, our counsellors are equipped to assist you in the most productive ways possible.
Our counsellors can help you navigate difficult emotions, relationships, and events and develop transformative skills to lead a more balanced and fulfilled life. ​
With a variety of counsellors to select from, we are able to offer different types of therapies and expertise to suit your individual needs.
