Empowering Wellness: Crossroads Counselling’s Growth and Impact

At Crossroads Counselling & Psychological Services, our mission is to provide exceptional and personalized mental health support to individuals, couples, and families in the Halifax region. Since 2017, we have cultivated a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their mental health and embark on a path toward healing and wellness. Our services, including couples counselling, grief counselling, anxiety / depression counselling and child therapy, are designed to address the unique needs of the diverse communities we serve.

Building a Practice for the Halifax Community

From the beginning, Crossroads Counselling has been committed to making mental health services accessible and reducing the stigma surrounding therapy. Our vision was to establish a thriving practice in Hammonds Plains that offers top-tier care across various specialties, including services for individuals from children through adults and support for families and couples. Mental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being, and its impact extends beyond individuals to their relationships, families, and the broader community.

The Journey from Humble Beginnings

When Amy Wiens, founder and psychologist, first opened Crossroads, the practice began modestly with just one office in a small local business centre. Amy’s dedication to delivering compassionate care, whether through couples counselling or individual counselling, quickly gained recognition. Word spread among clients, doctors, and community leaders, and our practice expanded in both team size and client base.

By 2020, we recognized the growing demand for services for people facing issues such as anxiety and depression, prompting the search for a larger, more purpose-built facility. Our goal was to create a calming and secure space where clients would feel supported on their journey toward mental well-being.

Expansion to Meet the Growing Needs

In 2023, we found the perfect building at 128 Appaloosa Run that matched our vision. Renovations began early in 2024, with an emphasis on confidentiality, soundproofing, and comfort — critical elements for creating a tranquil environment for mental health. This thoughtfully designed space allows us to better serve clients from the immediate Hammonds Plains / Bedford community and throughout the Halifax area.

Simultaneously, we expanded our team to include more specialized psychologists, therapists, and social workers, ensuring that we can meet the growing demand for mental health services. We are proud to have assembled a team with diverse expertise, offering support in areas like ADHD, autism, family systems, assessments and more.

Supporting Halifax Through Comprehensive Mental Health Services

At Crossroads, we support clients across the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) with a wide range of mental health needs. Our services cater to individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents. Whether through couples counselling to strengthen relationships, grief counselling to help navigate loss, or child therapy to support young clients, our approaches are always tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Our commitment to delivering the highest quality of care remains strong, and as we continue to grow and settle into our new facility, our vision of providing the best in mental health counselling in Halifax is becoming a reality.
