First Responder Clinician Network
Ensuring Timely Access to Counselling for our Local Emergency Responders
The following list of Counsellors strive to maintain session availability to assist you maintaining emotional wellness. We recognize the cumulative impacts of first responder traumatic witnessing and moral injury, and believe it is important to ensure accessible and timely access to mental health clinicians. We are EMDR trained and occupationally aware.
Sessions will be time-limited and focus on assisting you to unpack recent traumatic events utilizing EMDR or other psychological first aid strategies.
