Heartsprout Therapy recognizes with humility and respect that our work takes place on the stolen territories of the Coast Salish peoples – xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

If you are in crisis, please contact the crisis centre in BC (www.crisiscentre.bc.ca) or in ONT (www.crisisline.ca), dial 911 or 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline.

Heartsprout Therapy provides virtual counselling for individuals and couples in Ontario, British Columbia and across Canada, including Toronto and Vancouver.
