Welcome to Thrive Counselling Services Halton Inc. (Thrive Counselling), a new chapter in a long-running story. Thrive Counselling was created by the 2015 merger between Halton Family Services and Access Counselling & Family Services. Together, we are a comprehensive counselling agency serving the Halton Region since 1954. We are proud of both our long-standing service in Halton as well as our ability to grow and change to meet the needs of our evolving community. Over the years, we have helped thousands of people struggling with individual and family issues including family conflict, separation, divorce, depression, abuse or violence and grief and loss. We support people to thrive in the face of challenge and change.
Thrive is a registered charitable non-profit agency. Primary funding is received from the Ministry of Community & Social Services, Ministry of the Attorney General, and the United Ways of Halton/Hamilton. We gratefully acknowledge the support of our donors, local Service Clubs and organizations whose contributions ensure that we can reach more families in need. Together, we make a difference.
