Come sit down and tell us what you need.

We know life is hard.
We know getting here isn’t easy.
We know how hard it is to bring all your stuff here.
We have made our space as comfortable as we can to make one thing a tad easier.

On world mental health day, I’m acutely aware of how much weight everyone is carrying right now. On days like today, it’s a good time to remember that everyone has mental health. Mental suffering isn’t always loud, it’s not always dark, it’s often not obvious and it’s always painful.

Take care of yourself.
Mind, Body and Heart. 💙

I've heard it before: "Therapists just tell you what you want to hear." if you’ve sat in my space you know nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth is, no we don’t tell our clients what to do, no we are not just “advice” givers, we are absolutely not the expert or know more than our clients.

There are times when hard conversations need to be had, situations that warrant a discussion that no one else has known how to have and hard truths we have to process that are tricky at best.

The overall goal in most therapy settings is to help the person to feel more connected to themselves, to live their lives optimally, to feel more at ease and have relief from whatever is causing them harm. In order to do that sometimes we are telling people something that is really hard to hear. The goal is to provide a space to help work through whatever that is and allow it to be a positive experience with processing all the uncomfortable feelings.

So, to summarize anyone who thinks we are just sitting here being ‘yes’ people, you need to give it a try and see😉

This is precisely why you don’t see my face on here more. 36 minutes down to 2minutes of hand gestures and rambling.

For those who like my rants, here’s a sped up snapshot for your viewing pleasure.

(I did a speaking engagement last week and loved it, live groups are much different than videos on social media;))

Here’s to attempting to therapists on Instagram 👋👋👋👋 you may see me in another year.

Did you know embracing conflict as a natural part of life is key component in maintaining healthy boundaries? (As much as TikTok may make us think boundaries are just about saying no;))

How many of you enjoy confrontation? Conflict? Feel 100% okay sitting in that space of uncertainty. Never falter when you need to express your feelings or needs to someone?

For women in particular sitting in conflict brings up a lot of patriarchal bologna.

-Women are taught to stay small.
-Women are difficult if they don’t agree and go with the flow.
-Women are bi***es if they are loud about their desires.
-Women are taught that if people don’t like you or what you have to say, you’re failing.
-Women are taught that they have to be the fixers. If there is conflict you have to make it better.
-Women have been led to believe that they’re anxious, unreasonable, hysterical for voicing their feelings.
-AND….men are taught to expect this.

Yes, we are slowly tackling some of this. However, I spend a great deal of time helping my clients deconstruct some of this. Helping both my male and female clients notice these patterns and challenge our knee jerk responses.

Therapy isn’t just a space to work through a diagnosis. It’s often a place to explore and relearn. We deconstruct our experiences and learn new ways of processing and showing up in the world.

And guess what? It’s pretty freaking awesome experience watching people show up in new and authentic ways.

“Collaboration sets us apart as a clinic. Even though we have different skill sets, we work closely together to provide the most compassionate and comprehensive care for our clients. We are not just with you for an hour during your appointment, we are working for you and with you in the hours between appointments to determine how to best support you in your care. Working within our collaborative, compassionate care model should feel like a warm hug. “

Tracey, you deserve a medal for the work you do everyday. It’s not easy being the only nutritionist amongst a bunch of therapists and you do it effortlessly. You have allowed us to offer consistent, reliable and effective treatment for our clients touched with eating disorders and introduced your approach to support to many of our clients without.

You’re our number one hype girl (is that what the cool kids are saying?!) and you go above and beyond for both us and your clients which I know isn’t always easy.

Tracey offers support that goes beyond “just disordered eating and eating disorders” she does so much more. Please take a look at our website to learn more.

Tracey, you’re a huge part of this team and we would be lost without your unwavering support❤️

“While each of us bring something a bit different to this work, the group of women that I work with are a big part of why I work here, and why I would recommended our clinic to others. There is this sense of community when you come into the office. Whether it’s people laughing or supporting each other personally over a quick break, brainstorming resources or trainings that are interesting, or supporting our clients through shared referrals or recommendations, we care about our work and care about each other. I think this allows us to feel content and supported as clinicians, and also helps us provide the best support possible to our clients. I’m very proud of this team and so thankful to work alongside this group!”

Rebekah Bender is the Occupational Therapist, Psychotherapist on our team. She came to us in 2022 and we have learned so much from her ever since. The lens she brings to this work offers a perspective that’s needed when it comes to working with the diverse needs of our clients.

Rebekah takes every hour with her clients incredibly seriously. She pours into her work with passion, heart and creativity.

Rebekah, thank you for being such a big part of our team. Whether you’re here one day a week or five, when you’re committed to the cause it’s like you’re here every day.

“Therapy is especially important right now because everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard, supported, and understood. For some, that space is the therapy room; for others, it might be with friends, family, or within a broader community. It’s a privilege to be part of someone’s support system as they navigate the challenges life brings.

I’ve learned so much from my clients. They’ve shown me what resilience, strength, and perseverance really look like in the face of hardship. It’s an honor to witness their growth and courage.

What makes this clinic stand out is the genuine commitment to meeting clients where they are and helping them connect with the right clinician for their needs. I also really value the diversity of experience, approaches, and specialties within our team. It creates a rich environment for both client care and professional growth.”

Riley, you’re truly a delight. Your energy is infectious and your commitment to growth as a therapist is admirable. (Who does their EMDR training on their first maternity leave?!) Your ability to go from supporting an 8 year old to providing support to a couple in crisis is a testament to your dedication to supporting each and every person in your office.

We’re so glad you’re here ❤️

.msw you made a huge decision to come on board here just over a year ago and we are all so grateful you did.

Lindsay is the type of therapist who truly understands that this work we do saves lives. Lindsay has worked in some of the most intense, heavy and challenging mental health environments. She takes your pain, she helps you nurture it, make sense of it and keep it quiet when needed.

Lindsay, thank you for choosing us to help you help your clients. Thank you for coming on board and helping us grow and thank you for keeping me in line.

Lindsay excels in many categories of mental health support. She has space on her wait list only right now, she’s worth the wait.

Thank you for making me laugh, Lindsay. I’m sorry Luisa yelled at you when you came to your first CCP cottage trip, she would never be able to explain skim milk the way I can.

Since 2022 Sasha has been keeping me company on Mondays and Thursdays in-house (and online the rest of the week). Sasha joined us at a crucial time in our development. Coming to us with years of experience at a time when we needed someone with extensive trauma treatment experience.

Sasha’s calm and quiet nature creates space for her clients to get a moment of peace amongst the chaos they face on the daily.

“I feel like I’m best suited to help those suffering from depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. More recently, working with women experiencing perinatal and postpartum mood disorders has become a larger part of my practice. “

“Happy Birthday CCP, “I look forward to continuing to celebrate with clients as they reach their goals, no matter how big or small.”

Thank you Sasha for being there for your clients and for us through all the changes at CCP since you’ve been here. You’ve been a key team member supporting all the women we work with through their maternity leaves and it’s much appreciated.

I’m glad some of our volume hasn’t scared you off ☺️

“I think about the journey of this clinic all the time. It started from the early days of working side-by-side with my friend, to seeing CCP become the thriving, compassionate group practice it is today. I’m filled with gratitude and pride because just as I have watched CCP grow over the past 5 years, I’ve grown alongside it. This job allows us to sit with our clients in both good moments and hard unseen painful times. We find the way to navigate through it. We always find growth and the path to living your best self. That is why this work here is so important. The changes we start to see has a ripple effect on families and their communities. We are different because CCP has always led from the heart. We all have a deep respect for the power of healing and growing. I look forward to the next years to come at CCP because I am so inspired to be apart of something that is so meaningful.”

Luisa, no matter how much of a “small” part of CCP you think you are, every hour you do spend with your clients has a huge impact.

Thank you for all you do ❤️
We will have our days together again soon.

Carly Crawford, Psychotherapist

My name is Carly Crawford and I created "Find Your Voice Counselling" because I am passionate about helping individuals battling eating disorders. As someone who struggled with mental illness, I faced great challenges when it came time for me to get help. For this reason I have devoted my work to supporting those in need. Keep up to date for information on support groups, events and workshops.
