Impulse Control Counselling: A Path to Healing Together
The Impulse Control program is designed to help clients recognize and control their impulses. It aims to help clients take responsibility and ownership for their behaviours. For clients who do not need to complete the entire counselling program, single-session therapy (SST) is available at $150 per session, with additional sessions arranged as needed.
