Therapists tend to see 4-6 clients per day with breaks allocated in between or in larger blocks dependent on how you work best.  

We value quality therapeutic practice over the quantity of client hours you do, therefore there is opportunity to practice your own self-care between sessions and with other clinicians in the clinic.  

We highly value who the therapist is as a person and how this benefits client outcomes through values such as authenticity and integrity in the work you do.  

We offer a range of appointment times depending on what works for you and your schedule.
