WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT

A new moon represents the beginning of a lunar cycle... of new beginnings.

A time to create new goals and intentions. We all reach some crossroads in our career and emotional lives; even the strongest among us can sometimes feel lost, unsure, confused and unhappy. At New Moon Counselling, we can help you understand and manage all that life throws at you. We follow your lead in creating attainable goals, gaining awareness and helping you achieve the goals outlined. We believe that we all have the strength to thrive and start living our best lives. 

COUPLES COUNSELING

Having a safe space to share your feelings with your partner can open you up to having a more successful relationship. Our work with couples is to be curious observers of the relationship and help you through the challenges life can create in a relationship.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

We can't predict the effects of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. Our practice with individuals is designed to help understand and manage a number of challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Welcome! My name is Ivonne, I am the owner & founder of New Moon Counselling.

I get asked what led me to open a private practice all the time! After working at agencies my whole career, it became challenging to see clients struggling during the intake process and having to be put on a 6-12 month waitlist. The agency's limitations were a struggle as I saw the negative impact it had on my clients. When I became pregnant with my second child, I knew that my leave for maternity would be my permanent leave from this agency... and it was! 10 months after I left, New Moon Counselling was born! With the support of my partner, family and collegues, I was able to create a practice without waitlists, focusing on client’s needs and having more flexible time at home with my kiddos and family. Since then, New Moon Counselling has grown with incredible therapists providing support to children, teens, individuals, couples and families! I am so proud of my team and myself for creating this amazing vision.

Thank you for trusting us in your journey, trust me, we never take it for granted.
