Who we are

Regardless of where you are in your mental health journey, you will need a safe place to feel a connection. Somewhere where you are not judged and are actually seen for who you truly are. This is the core value at Island Roots Therapy, where we believe that our clients are the experts of their own lives.

We offer online or phone sessions for individuals (12+) living in both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Unsure about therapy? We also offer a free 15 minute phone call to determine if we are the right fit for you! We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover as well as Visa Debit & Debit Mastercard.

Coming in September 2025, we will be offering in person sessions for Nova Scotia residents only. These sessions will be available to school-aged children, teens, and adults!

Having grown up in rural PEI and now living in Nova Scotia, we truly have Island Roots!
