1. At Bliss, we believe your counselling should be as unique as you are. We’ll begin by getting you matched with a therapist who specializes in your specific cognitive profile!
2. Then, you’ll get started with your initial session. During this appointment (virtual or in-person, your pick), you will share more about your experiences, thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationships. You’ll leave with a better sense of your goals and applicable tools and strategies to get you there!
3. From here, you and your therapist will co-create a custom path where you will receive valuable guidance and support! With an understanding expert by your side, you’ll learn to embrace your strengths and navigate challenges with confidence!
4. Sometimes, the exploration of neurodiversity may prompt further evaluation. You may be encouraged to see a qualified professional who specializes in assessments. Your therapist will work with you to better understand your experiences and tailor your sessions with techniques and approaches to meet your learning needs.

You deserve to feel included in the therapeutic process! Let’s start today – a Bliss therapist is here and ready to help you get going. Simply fill out the form below to book your initial session.
