Introducing Ellie Jack and Ruth Shantz

Change…Hard and exciting.  New opportunities and challenges. We like stability and routine, and knowing what to expect. Change is unpredictable, but creates unknown possibilities for new goodness! Change brings grief for that which we knew and loved and let go. Shifts brings excitement for things that are now possible that previously couldn’t happen. Two years ago, …

Platforms for voices

One of the cool things about being director and therapist at Conexus Counselling is I meet people I wouldn’t otherwise meet.  I do meet courage, remarkable people who have the strength to be vulnerable to deeply explore their stories with me–that’s true…but I’m talking about other opportunities. I know I learn so much from reading …

In da Press…Dr. Sarah Murray

Therapists have a responsibility, not only to our clients, but also to our community.  We go into the field because we care about people.  We care about the relationships people have.

Welcome to the new business name/logo/website Conexus Counselling…home of the same therapists and same quality counselling our community has trusted and counted on for the last decade. We are now Conexus Counselling…and for a time, we’ll tag on the “formerly known as Bergen and Associates Counselling” onto the end to give folks a chance to get …

Cusp of new era
