Of course, not all problems are solved by these basics, and it’s not always easy to get these in order. However, we tend to think that fancy coping strategies or approaches are the answer, when a lot can be said for these underrated core habits. 🏃‍♀️ 😴 🥤

Tara is now accepting new clients for ADHD and Full Psychoeducational assessments (ages 16+ only). Please note that this is for assessments only, and does not include counselling.

There is limited availability for these assessments, and once initial spaces are filled, we will take names for a waiting list. Please contact our office for more information on scheduling, fees, and any other questions you may have (tara@taraforgeron.com; 902-567-3756). Thank you!

Happy Spring! We wish this weather was an April Fool's joke. ;) As usual, please keep an eye on your emails and phones in the event that your appointments are cancelled. All clinicians do a little something different on storm days due to differences in our own childcare, depending on where we live, etc. We will be in touch if your appointment needs to be rescheduled. 🙃 Also, if you know you have to cancel your appointment for today, please email or leave us a voicemail as soon as possible.

Happy Monday, everyone! A quick note to keep an eye on your emails/phones as we'll be contacting you if we need to cancel any appointments this week due to the snow. For anyone who has appointments this week and will be cancelling, we'd love for you to give as much notice as possible so that we can move our 'snow day clients' to your openings! ;) Stay warm and cozy!

With January often comes new schedules and timings. Please take a moment to ensure you know when your appointments are, and let us know in advance if they don't work for you. We have a large cancellation list, and it's very helpful to know in advance if we have openings so that we can offer them to those waiting. 😁 Thank you!

With the start of the New Year, we've been receiving a lot of inquiries from individuals looking to book an initial appointment. Unfortunately, we're not currently accepting new clients, however you can choose to be placed on a waitlist. The next natural question is typically- 'approximately how long will I have to wait to be seen?' This is a great question, but unfortunately, it's a bit of an impossible answer to give for a few reasons. (Frustrating, we know!). Here are a few reasons why:

⏳ We can’t predict when current clients will finish therapy.
Some people come for short-term support, while others have longstanding challenges and require more intensive work, and more sessions. Furthermore, many clients choose to continue with maintenance sessions, or 'check-in' appointments once in a while.

🔄 Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We tailor our work to each person, which means caseload openings don’t follow a fixed timeline.

🧠 Not every clinician is the right fit for every client.
You might be next on the list, but your presenting concerns may not align with the expertise of the clinician who has an opening. We prioritize making the right clinical match—so that when you do get in, it’s a good fit.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 💛

Thinking of our veterans and their families today, along with those currently serving. We are so very grateful for your service and sacrifices over the years. We hope you take time today to honour yourselves, as well, in the way that you most need it.

The newest member of the TFP crew, 10-month-old Waffles, made an appearance at the office today. 🐾 His enthusiasm might need a little more training before he’s ready for clients, but we suspect ‘TFP Therapy Dog’ could be in his future.
😉 🥰 🐶

If anyone would like to have a phone or video session in lieu of coming into the office in today's rainstorm, please send us an email or leave a message. Amanda and Joanna will get to them when they're in. :)

It was a full circle moment at the today. 🏃‍♀️ Seven years ago, I ran my first 10K (pictured is our little guy with me when he was just 2)- and today, Ben ran his first 10K! 🥹💕 TFP was excited to be a small part of this event, and sponsored the Mind over Miles chocolate milk station in the recovery area 🥰🥛. Special thanks to all of the runners and volunteers cheering this little guy along. So grateful for this community!

Volunteering is a proven way to boost your mental health. 😉 (That's actually true!). As someone who runs, I can say that it truly means the world to have amazing volunteers present on race day- from passing out water to cheering runners on when that extra push is needed. 😀 Complete the form here to help out!
