Our Story

Our team of highly trained professional therapists and counsellors provide a variety of client-centered services for children and their families. Mareas' goal is to promote healthy relationships, nurture growth, development and communication within and outside the family.

Based in Hamilton, Mareas offers in-home services throughout a large catchment area in southern and south central Ontario. (Hamilton/Halton, Brant County, Niagara Region). We offer a wide range of services including but not limited to Individual therapy for adults and children/youth, Adoption Services, Play therapy, Supervised Access, a variety of Support Groups for families, and children.

In 2016 we also became a licensed Foster Care Provider with the Ministry of Children Community and Social Services. We provide treatment foster care for children aged 0-18 years old. Our families are trained in therapeutic interventions, and parent from a trauma informed lens. We look for individuals and families in the area of Hamilton and neighbouring communities such as Niagara, Haldimand-Norfolk, Brant County, Halton and Cambridge to be a part of our clinical team, to help children and youth who need a safe and nurturing environment until they can return to their families.
