“Go to therapy. Just do it. Being able to talk to someone changed my life, I deserve to feel better and so do you. The counselors at Liberate are progressive, warm, and informed. They will make you think. They helped me move into a new chapter of my life and I am returning because I know how valuable this service is. I am deeply grateful to Liberate for making this service accessible to me where traditionally it would not be.”

“The casual and cozy atmosphere meant that I felt completely at ease during my sessions and was able to dive deeper into resolving my issues. My therapist was an amazing navigator and challenged me to explore areas of my experience that I hadn't considered before. I also valued the flexibility shown by my therapist when they allowed me to step back from topics I would rather not broach, empowering me to focus on what I felt would be the most productive use of time during our sessions.”

“The therapists and the space are honest and open, this taught me to be honest and open with myself. The sessions have helped me welcome better people to my life, and establish boundaries with myself and others. It is hard work, but so worth it! Thank you!”

“I was able to find a very compatible counsellor and made significant progress in a short amount of time. I highly recommend this place for anyone, and the sliding scale will help many who are struggling financially.”

“Supportive, non-judgemental, affordable, inclusive... all around excellent care I would highly recommend. Very grateful I had the opportunity!”

“In sessions with [my therapist], I learned that my task is not to exit vulnerability, but to trust myself. Through our focus on places of strength, I am newly curious to hear more of my own voice, and to become the bearer of my own story. Since then, I’ve been able to stand my ground and trust my responses in conflict. I’ve been thoughtful and measured in the moment. I’m discovering new ways to feel obstacles and fears. New frames for situations that hold the complexity of self. Through this structured reflection, I’ve been able to experience myself as articulate, relaxed, and gathering self-knowledge. I sense clearer paths between joy and comfort, flow and work. They’re a part of me, generated by me, and they’re mine to keep and grow. I look forward to these curious, gentle conversations, and I recommend this process highly.”

"This was my first time doing therapy and I feel like my inner stability has stronger roots now. My therapist was very kind and asked incredibly insightful questions that made me realize I know more about myself than I thought. This place is fantastic."

“I was unsure what to expect with feminist narrative therapy but now I cannot sing its praises enough! With the helpful guidance and insight I have received with my amazing therapist I can see things so much clearer.”

“I found a place of non-judgement and validation. Previously, therapy was completely inaccessible for me as it is for many. The responsibility of healing was one of many burdens that seemed I had to deal with alone. My therapist was gentle, kind and did not project opinions or solutions. Rather, she became my co-researcher, both of us looking at my life experiences and coming up with solutions together. She gave me the tools to think about my situation in a different way and facilitated a safe space for healing. I am so grateful for my experience.”
