If life has been feeling overwhelming, heavy, or harder to manage, you are not alone. Everyone goes through harder times.
At OCFR, we support children, teens, adults, caregivers, parents, and families who are dealing with anxiety and worry, low mood, grief, big emotions, relationship stress, parenting challenges, and stressful life transitions. Whether things have felt hard for a long time or something has recently thrown you off balance, we’re here to help.
It’s okay if you are not sure what would be most helpful for you right now:
Most people come to therapy because they know something is off or not working, but they often are unsure exactly why. That’s okay. Part of our job is to help you figure out what is going on and what kind of support would be most helpful.
You might be having some of these experiences if you are looking for help:
- feeling more anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, or reactive than usual
- feeling stressed or burned out without relief
- stuck in the same relationship patterns
- worried about your child’s emotions or behaviours
- trying to support your family while also holding everything together yourself

We support your to recharge your ability to find calm and joy, even in the face of stress. We want to help you feel more connected and grounded in all areas of your life for the long-term.
We offer a range of services, including:
