Welcome to Boomerang Counselling Centre!

Life is full of struggles! Even when you try your hardest, the difficulties can be overwhelming. Counselling with the right therapist can help you navigate these challenges.

We’ve been there, and we know what to do. We work with individuals of all ages dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, family issues, grief, life transitions, neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism/LD’s), personality disorders, relationships/couples, self-harm, suicidal ideation, trauma and more.

We are a highly skilled professional team of caring and competent Registered Clinical Counsellors who have struggled, suffered and survived to provide you with evidence-based, tailored, transformative care. We look forward to working with you!

We offer reduced rate counselling services provided by masters-level interns at $60/50-minute session with evening/weekend availability. We also offer free counselling services for children, parents, families, and those experiencing financial hardship.

Why the Name Boomerang?

We use the metaphor of a boomerang’s flight to explain how we maintain optimal mental health.

For our system (brain and body) to grow and thrive, we need access to another human system to witness and validate our experience of ourselves.

When you send out a piece of yourself (your thoughts, feelings, behaviours), it must go through another individual and return as you sent it; you must be seen and heard.

When this happens, the brain and body ignite with biochemistry that floods the body, reinforcing your value and worth. The result is an influx of proactive thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

In contrast, when you send out a piece of yourself and the Boomerang does not come back as you sent it but instead is infused with another person’s thoughts, feelings, or behaviours (e.g., analysis, criticism, disgust), the body sounds an alarm.

This alarm communicates that something is wrong because our brain and body need this witnessing to grow and function optimally. Thoughts and feelings translate to “I am not enough,” and the result is mental unwellness because our brain and body are strained and desperate to find that witness. At Boomerang Counselling Centre, we provide the witnessing so your system can heal, grow, and thrive.

If you look at the top 10 important factors to find a therapist, repeat rapport 10 times. What does rapport mean? It’s paying attention, trust, back and forth like, I’m doing something difficult, and I am doing it with someone helping me, paying attention and wanting me to be better. That’s indispensable.
