Therapy and Counselling Services
Cornerstone Psychological Services provides therapy and counselling services to address the core issues that underlie our client's problems and concerns. We aim to provide a more substantial form of therapy, rather than offering short-term “band-aid” solutions to manage symptoms or surface problems.
Our focus on treating the root causes of mental health challenges, means fewer instances of ‘failed’ or ‘repeat’ courses of therapy, which can require additional time, money, and resources. Our approach ensures that clients receive the comprehensive help they need to optimize their fullest potential.
We offer a range of effective therapy and counselling services, including Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy and aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), among other approaches, all designed to meet the unique needs of each client.


Our holistic approach to therapy and counselling services does not necessarily mean a longer course of treatment, but rather a more complete and personalized view of what therapy should entail. If you are seeking therapy and counselling services in Halifax, we invite you to contact us to learn how we can help, or book an appointment online today.
