Counselling
Our team at Brenna Lanktree and Associates, Inc. offers individual counselling services with Registered Master's-level Psychotherapists. We are proud to announce that we have received the MCCSS Ontario Autism Program Workforce Capacity Fund: Expansion grant, which allows us to provide counselling to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families, at no cost. We will use solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), an evidence-based approach focusing on solutions rather than problems, to help them manage their struggles and cope with challenges.
We will be providing individual counselling to children with autism spectrum disorder who are between the ages 12 and 18, and family counselling for families with children with autism spectrum disorder who are between the ages of 8 and 18.
Counselling will be offered from 4:30pm to 8:00pm Mondays and Wednesdays. Please contact admin@brennalanktree.com to make an appointment.
