Chigamik offers registered adult clients, individual, couple and family counselling at no no cost. The purpose of counselling is to provide individuals with a confidential opportunity to explore personal, psychological, and relational issues. Chigamik’s registered social workers and psychotherapists are trained to assess mental health problems and use different methods of therapy to address specific issues. Clients are provided up to 10 sessions at a time. These sessions may occur weekly or bi-weekly and are one-hour in length.
Registered clients of Chigamik can access a variety of counselling services at no cost including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – a structured form of psychotherapy to help treat anxiety and/or depression.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – used to help people recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related conditions.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – a structured approach to couples’ therapy. Motivational Interviewing – used to help an individual move away from a state of uncertainty towards making positive life decisions.
Narrative Therapy – focuses on how the stories we develop about ourselves and carry with us throughout our lives affect our self-esteem, abilities, relationships, work etc.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – places focus on a person’s present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences.
Transactional Analysis – designed to explore how an individual’s personality has been shaped by experiences – particularly those stemming from childhood.
To access services, ask your primary healthcare provider at Chigamik to send a counselling referral on your behalf.
Primary Care clients of Chigamik can also book their own appointment by contacting Lauren Foote by email at lauren.foote@chigamik.ca or by phone at 705.527.4154 x7236.

CSC CHIGAMIK CHC would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabek Nation. We would also like to acknowledge the enduring presence of the Indigenous Peoples of this region, specifically, the Chippewa Tri – Council First Nations comprised of the Beausoleil First Nation, the Chippewas of Rama, and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. We also acknowledge the Moose Deer Point First Nation, the Wahta Mohawks, the Georgian Bay and Moon River Métis Councils in this region. It should be noted that the Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Nations have also walked on this territory over time.
