Community Counselling

We take a comprehensive approach to addictions counselling, providing assessments and referrals, case management, outpatient therapeutic intervention, harm reduction, and aftercare for alcohol addiction and substance use. Counselling services and supports are available for family members and other loved ones of individuals struggling with addiction issues.

In partnership with Ontario Health's Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program through St. Joseph's Care Group, Riverside therapists are able to provide evidence-based, client-centred Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related approaches to individuals with mild to moderate mental health issues related to obsessive compulsive disorder, health anxiety, panic, phobias, social anxiety, depression and trauma.
With strong clinical therapy skills and expertise, we can complete comprehensive assessments, develop treatment goals, monitor progress through measurement-based care and deliver treatment to individuals 18 and over who meet the criteria for care.

Gambling is a problem when it impacts relationships or employment. Gambling is a problem when it negatively impacts finances and/or mental health. A gambling problem isn’t always obvious. It can result from games on a cell phone, online gaming, sports betting, bingo, casinos, scratch tickets and cards.

If you think you have a problem, or are concerned about someone else, we offer Problem Gambling Counselling for assessment of all ages and treatment for 18 years and older.

Intimate partner violence and abuse (IPV) is a global epidemic that affects the lives of many women. IPV has the potential to cause serious complex health and mental health concerns.

Community Counselling offers trauma-informed therapy to women 16 years and older who have endured violence and abuse, including childhood abuse and/or harm experienced within intimate partner relationships. This may include physical, sexual, emotional, and/or financial harm, and controlling behaviours. Therapeutic services offer clients an opportunity for a collaborative process to learn about the impact of trauma and violence, receive individualized support for their experiences, and an opportunity to address ongoing trauma symptoms and responses. Specialized evidence-based therapeutic modalities are available.
