✨ Wishing You Peace This Holiday Season ✨

This season, we hold space for what matters most — family, connection, and moments of peace, however they look for you. Christmas can be joyful, tender, complicated, or all of the above, and every experience is valid.

From all of us at Mareas, we wish you a holiday filled with warmth, comfort, and meaningful moments with the people who make you feel safe and seen.
May your days be gentle, your hearts feel full, and the new year bring hope and healing. 🤍

🎄 Merry Christmas from our Mareas family to yours.

It is through mistakes that we learn and grow. How we respond to mistakes means more than focusing on not making them in the first place.

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.
