Thoughtful Therapists. Practical Help.
Every therapist on our team brings a unique mix of training, experience, and personality to their work. Some focus on anxiety, trauma, or relationships; others specialize in ADHD, mood concerns, burnout, or academic and career challenges.
​
What they share is a strong clinical foundation, a down-to-earth approach, and a genuine commitment to helping you make lasting change—moving beyond symptom management toward building a life you love.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you choose the therapists who work at Abma Counselling?
A: We look for therapists who combine clinical skill with genuine compassion for people. Each new team member goes through interviews, background checks, and references. We only bring on people we’d trust with our own family.
Q: How much experience do your therapists have?
A. Our clinicians range from early-career therapists to seasoned practitioners with over fifteen years in the field. All receive supervision and ongoing professional development to keep their skills sharp.
​
Q: What’s the difference between a Registered Psychotherapist and a Registered Social Worker?
A: Both provide psychotherapy, but they’re licensed under different colleges in Ontario. Psychotherapists register with the CRPO; Social Workers register with the OCSWSSW. Each has graduate-level training and follows strict ethical standards.
​
Q: Are your therapists covered under employee benefit plans?
A: Yes. Most extended health plans cover therapy with a Registered Psychotherapist or Registered Social Worker. Depending on your plan, we’ll either direct bill or provide detailed receipts for reimbursement.
​
Q: How do I know which therapist is the right fit for me?
A. Our Client Care Team will help match you with a therapist based on your goals, preferences, and availability. They know each therapist’s style and areas of expertise, so they can help guide your choice. If you already have someone in mind, you’re always welcome to request them directly.
​
Q: Can I switch to another therapist if I don’t feel comfortable?
A. Yes. If the fit isn’t right, let us know and our Client Care Team will help you connect with another therapist who may be a better match. Therapists completely understand that not every pairing is the right one, and they genuinely want you to work with someone you feel comfortable with
​
Q: How does Abma Counselling ensure clients receive consistent, high-quality care?
A: Our team meets regularly for supervision, peer consultation, and ongoing training to maintain the highest standards of care. Every therapist follows clear ethical and professional guidelines. You can expect consistent, ethical, and compassionate care across our entire team.​​​​​​
