Gentle Pathways – Centre for Healing and Trauma Therapy

We may not be responsible for the world that created our mind, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.

We Can Help

Children

At Gentle Pathways we are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to explore their emotions and heal from painful experiences. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to feel heard, seen, and valued and we are committed to achieving by this making sessions meaningful and engaging

Adults

For some adults, the idea of seeking counselling might be intimidating and even frightening. Being open, and vulnerable with a complete stranger might feel nerve-wrecking and uncomfortable at first. In our practice we strive to ensure that our clients feel safe and empowered to work towards their goals and achieve their optimal personal growth.

First Responders

First responders are the backbone of any community. They put their lives on the line every day to protect us and keep our families  safe.

At Gentle Pathways, we understand the unique challenges that first responders face, and we are committed to helping them regain their emotional well-being so they can continue to serve and protect our community with the highest level of care.
