Reduced Fee Counselling Services For Bedford, Halifax & Surrounding Areas
Affordable support without compromising quality.
Quality Support, Lower Cost
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care—regardless of their financial situation. Our reduced-fee counselling sessions are offered by intern therapists who are completing the final stages of their clinical training under the supervision of experienced, fully registered professionals. Our interns are supervised by clinic owner Tyler Hoyt, RCT, RMFT, CCC.
This is a great option if you’re seeking compassionate, evidence-based support at a more accessible rate, have more limited availability, or looking for a specifically trained therapist.
What Is an Intern Therapist?
Intern therapists, or practicum student therapists, are graduate-level counselling students who are in the practicum or internship phase of their education. They have already completed years of academic training and are now gaining direct clinical experience.
All sessions with interns are:
- Supervised by a fully registered therapist
- Confidential, compassionate, and professional
- Held to the same ethical and privacy standards as any other counselling session
