Real Talk Saturdays

Real Conversations. Real Support.

Life & Family Counselling Services is launching a community mental health initiative beginning this May that we believe may be helpful for many students and families.

We will offer free counselling sessions for teenagers aged 14 – 18 every Saturday.

These sessions provide a safe, supportive space to speak with a trained therapist about concerns such as:

• Anxiety and stress
• Academic pressure
• Social challenges
• Family transitions
• Self-esteem and identity development

Sessions are offered in person or virtually and are facilitated by our supervised intern practitioners.

Our goal is to reduce barriers to mental health care and provide accessible support for teens who may benefit from speaking with a professional.

Therapists Available

All sessions are facilitated by trained practitioners working under direct clinical supervision.

  • Alyssa Rubino, RP(Q)

  • Sofia Greco, RP (Q)

  • Nicole Rita, RP(Q)

  • Alexia Curalli

Here’s What Clients Say

  • Calista

    "I was very apprehensive a course would do much help for my partner and I since our relationship seemed beyond saving. I bought it as a last resort and we have been blown away! It opened up conversations about things we never spoke about before. It's been a very healing process for us."

    "I have been struggling to bounce back from a break up that really tore me apart. Every new relationship turns into a mess. This reflective journey has allowed me to see why I act the way I do sometimes and connect me to a better version of myself."

    I have always had a tumultuous relationship with my mother. I heard about this and decided to work through it slowly with her everytime we were together. Profound is all I can say. Would highly recommend.

    I am a writer but seem to have a block every time I try and write about my past. Mary's course has been full of revelations and became my favourite Friday night in for some self-care therapy. Thank you, Mary!

  • I bought this, hoping I would not stick it on the shelf or on the desk and not use it. I use it every day. It’s simple and effective.

  • Helped my spouse and I communicate better and understand one another a bit better. I enjoyed Therapy In A Box. Good way to get us to sit down and talk about some deep stuff.

  • This is the best prompted journal I've owned! I bought the same one for a family member and they also love it.


    Jeff C.
    Relationship S.O.S Workbook

  • I have done many therapy related activity books, and this one is by far one of my favorites. The questions are organized by topic and are better than the average “getting to know you” questions you find in these types of books. I highly recommend this for couples looking to connect on a deeper level.

  • This has been a helpful tool for trying to strengthen my marriage. We endured a family emergency this year and realized just how disconnected our marriage has been. The guided conversations in this book have been helpful to pinpoint our problems and work on solutions for a healthier life together.practitioner resource.
