Exceeding Expectations
for
active & retired members
Specialized counselling services for veterans, first responders, and RCMP officers are tailored to address the unique and demanding challenges these dedicated individuals face in the line of duty. Recognizing that each group confronts distinct stressors and traumas, these services are provided by professionals well-versed in the intricacies of military service, emergency response, and law enforcement. They are equipped to address issues such as combat-related trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment difficulties, and the psychological toll of high-stress situations.
These specialized counselling services extend beyond the traditional scope of therapy to assist individuals in navigating the complexities of their respective systems, including accessing healthcare, retirement benefits, and support networks. They also acknowledge the impact on these service members' families and loved ones and offer family and couples counselling.
By providing a compassionate and understanding environment, these services aim to help veterans, first responders, and RCMP officers effectively cope with their unique challenges and manage their mental health. They play an essential role in supporting those who have served in the military and law enforcement, as well as first responders who tirelessly protect and assist their communities, ensuring that these dedicated individuals receive the care, understanding, and assistance they need to address the complex demands of their roles and successfully transition to life beyond their service.

At Nature’s Path Counselling, we are very committed to helping our clients with ethical therapy based on solid evidence. We have a program where students learning to become counsellors can provide counselling at a lower cost to our community. This helps people who might not have much money get the help they need.
The students in our program have already finished their bachelor's degree and are now working on a higher degree in counselling. They diligently work to accumulate the necessary clinical hours to meet their educational requirements, making their services available primarily between October and March each year. They work closely with an experienced counsellor. They are now in the final stages of their master's degree, working on their Capstone Project.
Our Student Therapists benefit from regular supervision from Amanda de Guerre, Registered Psychologist at Nature’s Path Counselling. She possesses a Ph.D. and a master's degree, a minimum of 5 years of postgraduate experience, and has undertaken specialized clinical supervision training. This high level of supervision ensures the quality and effectiveness of our services and allows us to uphold the highest standards in counselling continuously.
