Throughout life, we encounter many different challenges, changes, and life-altering events. It happens to all of us.

 

This can make us feel very alone and unsure of what to do or how to feel better. These things can make living day-to-day life extremely difficult and hopeless.

​

You do not need to go through this alone.

 

With professional support, you can gain clarity and control. You can get unstuck and begin really living YOUR life as an individual, within a family and community, and in your daily life outside your home.

​

What it is like working with one of our professionals at Co & Associates: 

 

We care because we have gone through our own challenges in our own lives and with our own families. We understand where you’re coming from.

​

We have years of experience and education. Together we co-create a plan of action with you, set specific and personalized goals, and move at

your pace.

​

It is our goal to create an environment that is comfortable. We want you to feel heard and understood.

What People Say!

Happy Couple

We really struggled to try to parent and avoid constant battles. After a few Zoom sessions with Melissa (who went out of her way to research and find tools and techniques for us), this house feels completely different. I'm so glad we asked for help. Kids don't come with handbooks and it was overwhelming for us trying to deal with behaviour problems (ODD), but now we feel prepared and thankful we have these resources available.

Garion has provided me with a safe place to talk about difficult things, she has taught me valuable skills for coping and managing my way through my current situation, I now see myself differently than I did initially, I value myself more, and in turn, others have noticed that even my dialogue, etc is more positive.
I sincerely look forward to attending appointments, I come away each and every time feeling more upbeat and positive.

Experiencing hopelessness doesn’t feel good. Getting the support and guidance you need is a sign of strength, not weakness or failure.

Imagine being at your best. Feeling connected. Feeling fulfilled. Understanding yourself and your thoughts. Understanding your family. Feeling capable that you have everything within you to live your best life.

We look forward to working with you.
