Counselling Services

Established in 1997, Ehrlo Counselling Services provides professional counselling services and programs to children, adolescents and families in the City of Regina and surrounding area. Ehrlo Counselling Services has developed an expertise in counselling children and families in the areas of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety and other issues such as bullying/victimization, under achievement and parent/child conflict.

Ehrlo Counselling Services is based on an integration of a variety of therapeutic techniques. Professional staff with expertise in a broad range of client needs, provide a comprehensive assessment and intervention plan unique to each client.

Each client's progress is monitored by a clinical supervisor to ensure the highest quality of service. The multi-disciplinary team provides additional assessment services such as a psychiatric consultation where appropriate.

Treatment and goal setting are accomplished in collaboration with clients. This process is based on the belief that many difficulties can be resolved through short-term interventions. Long-term intervention services are available when necessary. Treatment is provided using individual, group, and family counselling methods. Evaluation of the intervention and treatment services is consumer oriented and ongoing.
