About Bliss
Bliss is committed to helping you live a healthy life with meaning.
At Bliss we believe that all human beings have a remarkable ability to grow and change, especially with the right support and guidance.
Clinical social workers pay special respect to the integrity and autonomy of the client as well as to human rights and cultural differences. We have a special interest in LGBTQIA2S+, polyamory/consensual non-monogamy, and Indigenous populations.
Bliss is committed to you living a healthy life with meaning. We help you find your bliss through mental health and relationship therapy that is personalized for you. More than relieving symptoms, we help you improve your quality of life with purposeful behaviours and meaningful activities and relationships.
~ Christina Clapperton, Owner, Counsellor
Counselling is not just talking about feelings. We bring a variety of training and experience in highly effective, evidence-based treatments. Approaches we use most are Solution-focused, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD or trauma, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapies (CBT, DBT), Mindfulness/Spiritual approaches, and Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) for families.
