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.

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!

Event registration: Fiddler’s Race Day Volunteers @ Sydney, NS, Canada. Sunday, October 19, 2025 8:00 AM (GMT-3) - Sunday, October 19, 2025 3:00 PM (GMT-3)

I speak with a lot of clients who will say that they know they're spending too much time on their phones. They're seeing it impact their focus, mood, irritability, presence with their family, and more. Typically, they'll then state that they'd like to reduce their time on their phones. I love the awareness and how they shift it into wanting to take action. However, in my experience, (professionally, and through personal trial and error), I don't find people to be overly successful when they say they want to 'reduce' their screen time, without having a clear goal as to how they'll make that happen.

So, what do I recommend? Clear blocks of phone-free (or social media-free) time, no exceptions. For instance, from 4-8pm M-Th, no social media, or, take a break on weekends. Find something that will suit your lifestyle and reason why you're wanting to do this. It will be challenging- it's quite an addiction, after all- but your mind, relationships, and well-being will be better for it. 🙏
