CMHA South Cariboo Counselling Program

The CMHA South Cariboo Counselling Program provides compassionate, trauma-informed, and confidential support for individuals experiencing life challenges and mental wellness concerns. Our counsellors offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where participants can explore their experiences, build resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward their personal goals. 

Our counselling services are supportive in nature and focus on strengthening well-being, enhancing coping skills, and empowering individuals to navigate life’s challenges. We strive to meet people where they are, helping them feel heard, supported, and connected to their community. 

Individual counselling 

Individual counselling is offered, but please be aware that priority is always given to family and relationship counselling. This service is, first and foremost, supportive in nature.

  • Bipolar disorder 
  • Depressive & anxiety disorders

Our goal is to help individuals feel heard, supported, and connected as they work toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
