A Place to Share Your Story
Honouring your skills, knowledge, and hopes
Counselling and Psychotherapy
Welcome to Cooper Therapeutic Services: Mental Health Care & Clinical Supervision
Maybe life has become heavy. Maybe you're struggling to find your way.
I work with youth and adults, including first responders and Indigenous people, who are experiencing life's difficulties. Together, we'll have a thoughtful conversation about what’s going on, what you want different, and what might be possible. I am a registered NIHB provider.
We will honour your story, as much as you want to share. And, we'll explore the knowledge and strengths you've already been using to navigate life, and how they might shape next steps.
Not sure if therapy is right for you? Have some questions? Let's have a free 15-minute conversation to see whether I might be a good fit. No pressure. No obligation to book an appointment. We begin with a conversation. But if you’re ready, fill out the form below and we’ll get started.
Services
Ways we can meet:
Walk and Talk Therapy
I am looking to do my therapy outdoors, experiencing the benefits of being in nature.

I am looking for therapy for myself or someone I care about.

I’m looking for virtual services, either online or by phone.
Clinical Supervision
I am a professional looking for Clinical Supervision or Consultation in my work.
What to Expect
Let’s start with a phone call to see if we’re a good fit and to cover the basics of service. You can ask me your questions about my approach, training, and education, and what to expect.
In our first session, we’ll discuss privacy, limits of confidentiality, what’s most pressing to you to address, and you’ll leave—even after this first conversation— with ideas to think about or things to try out. If you want to meet again, we’ll figure out a pace that’s just right for you.
Sessions can be in-person, online - camera optional, or by phone.
If I’m not the right fit, I help you find someone who is.
Who you’ll meet with:
Scot Cooper, Registered Psychotherapist
I'm Scot, and I've dedicated my professional years to providing community mental health services in Haldimand, Norfolk, and neighbouring communities for close to three decades. I’ve opened my practice as I believe you should never have to shoulder distress alone.
Cooper Therapeutic Services is a place to share your story and enter into conversation that's down to earth, useful, and backed by years of experience. My approach is plain-spoken, focused on what you know and know how to do — to shape the life you want.
We can meet in an office, online, or outside, within the calming backdrop of a forest or the cool shade of a tree. The first step is simply to reach out.
Worried About the Cost of Care?
Insurance Coverage & Deductions
Most insurance or extended health benefit plans cover counselling/psycotherapy services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist. Please consult your insurance provider to determine specific coverage options. Psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist is tax-deductible, qualifying as a medical expense. However, please note that OHIP does not cover Psychotherapy services.
I am a registered provider with the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program, and Sun Life.

“In the right spaces, you won’t have to shout to be heard. You won’t have to shine a flashlight on your wounds to be seen. You won’t have to change the language in your soul’s dictionary to be understood, and you will be able to come as you are without having to alter your identity.”
Poet: Billy Chapata
