Counselling and Therapy in Fergus, Ontario
Whether it’s anxiety that won’t settle, a child who’s struggling to find their words or a relationship that feels stuck, you don’t have to sort it out on your own.
A safe place to talk (or draw, or just breathe)
Reaching out for support takes courage, and we want that first step to feel as easy as possible. Our counsellors and therapists work with children, youth, adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, big life changes and relationship challenges. They see their role as your ally, someone in your corner helping you work toward the goals that matter most to you.
And because Shift is a family health centre, caring for everyone under one roof is simple, from your little one’s art therapy session to your own chiropractic appointment, all in the Fergus Marketplace Building.
Our Therapy and Counselling Services
Support for kids, teens, adults and couples

Talk therapy for children, youth, adults and couples working through anxiety, depression, trauma, self-regulation or relationship struggles. Sessions are collaborative, so you set the goals and your counsellor helps you build the tools to reach them, at a pace that feels comfortable. Our counsellors work from an attachment and trauma-focused approach, with a focus on emotional coping and self-understanding.

For a lot of kids, talking about big feelings is hard. Art therapy takes the pressure off. Using art and play, children can express themselves, share their thoughts and practise problem-solving in a way that feels natural and fun. It can help kids understand their feelings, manage anxiety, adjust to changes, grieve losses, build confidence and develop self-regulation.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an interactive form of psychotherapy used to help relieve psychological stress, and it’s a recognized treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our EMDR-trained therapist can walk you through how it works and whether it’s right for you.
