Clinical Counselling
A Clinical Therapist is a healthcare professional who has obtained a master's degree in a counselling-related field, followed by a period of supervised clinical practice and successful completion of the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists (NSCCT) examination.
Treatments are scheduled for 60 or 90 minutes depending on your injury or health concern. Your clinical therapist will discuss the duration and treatment plan best for you during your initial assessment. Treatments are often covered under most private health insurance plans.
