Services

We support all individuals, couples, or families in need of counselling in the Comox Valley and beyond: Courtney, Comox, Cumberland, Campbell River and beyond.

Services are offered in person at various locations & virtually.

How to Connect

Portage Counselling recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind, heart, and body in responding to distress and engaging in the healing process. We acknowledge that talk therapy cannot address all aspects of this for an individual. Our desire is to integrate the mind/heart therapeutic work we do alongside understanding what may arise for you while engaging in any body-focused work you do.

Virtual Meetings

Mondays and Wednesdays

You can receive services from the comfort of your own location, near or far.
