Research shows that 50% of Canadians will face a major mental health challenge by 40 years of age. We believe therapy can benefit everyone at all ages regardless of what you’re going through.
Whether you’re having trouble sleeping, stressed about work or school, struggling with your relationship…or you’re having debilitating flashbacks of a traumatic event in your life…or some other symptom…we can help.
Grigore Counselling & Associates is an award-winning, Canada-wide mental health clinic dedicated to providing top-tier, evidence-based care for individuals, couples, and families.
Receiving care from our therapy group means you benefit from over 50 years of collective experience for lasting relief from stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, self-sabotaging behaviours, and more, but tailored specifically for you.

"We really get it. If you ask any of us why we're so successful in transforming the lives of over 1000+ clients over the years, I believe the answer will always be that our greatest teacher is our own life experience. Yes, the years of trainings, the degrees and certifications...but none of it compares to having lived the ups and the downs of life.
Rest assured, I've hand-picked each and every clinician on our team, and I would recommend my closest friends and family with any one of our excellent therapists -- no question. While each of us bring something different to our work, all of us bring 100% every single session.
Whoever you choose as your guide for your therapeutic journey, we all promise to provide a safe and welcoming space for you to discover your best self, while healing whatever wounds still require healing.
I don't believe our legacies are measured by how many dollars are in our bank accounts, how many awards are in a display case, or the assets we might leave behind for our children, but instead, by the amount of love we give to heal our world. If you give us a chance to help you, I'm more than confident you will look back years later and still be glad you did.”
