About Us
At The Comfy Place we have one goal: to create a therapeutic space for ALL to heal.
Our goal is to create a truly comfortable space for all people: regardless of whether you are a child or adult, regardless of the struggles you may have now or have experienced in the past – you are welcome here.
We believe that, done right, therapy doesn’t have to be scary. You can actually heal and enjoy yourself at the same time!
As your therapist, it’s our role to guide you and, when you need it, to challenge you too. All of the therapists here at The Comfy Place are committed to doing whatever it takes for each person who comes to us to get exactly the kind of help that works best for them. Whether you are a child, a teen, or an adult, we’re here for you! So, if one client needs to get up and do some Yoga – we’ll do it! If another needs to play with playdough while we talk – that’s great – we’ll do that too!
Therapy here isn’t a one-size-fits-all endeavour. This is a place where you can come as you are, be greeted with open arms, and then get whatever kind of help YOU need to maximize your healing and your growth.
Choosing the right therapist is important. It’s a relationship unlike any other. Not every client and therapist are going to be a good fit to work together, so at The Comfy Place we aim to help our clients get the best fit. Whether your a child, an adult, or even a couple, our goal is to connect you to a therapist who will truly get you. We invite you to read our therapists’ profiles and explore if one of us may be a good fit for you or your child. Our diverse group of highly dedicated and passionate therapists possess a wide range of expertise and therapeutic experience. Our therapists use evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches to deliver individualized care. We are all committed to providing culturally-responsive and inclusive services that empower our clients and help them move toward living a healthier and happier life.
You deserve to work with a great therapist who really gets you!!!
