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.
Ways we can meet:
-
Let’s schedule an initial call to meet before you make any decisions. I can answer any questions you might have and you can check out if we seem like a good match.
-
Sometimes, one thoughtful conversation can make a meaningful difference. Single Session Therapy also known as One-at-a-Time Therapy, offers an opportunity to focus on something that matters to you, explore what you would like to be different, and consider possibilities for moving forward. We work with what you bring to the conversation, including your knowledge, experiences, relationships, and hopes.
There is no expectation that you commit to ongoing therapy. You can attend one session, return for another when you wish, or explore other supports if that would be helpful.
Consider Single Session Therapy if…
You have something on your mind, a situation you want to think through, a decision to make, or a concern you would like to approach differently — and you want a conversation without committing to ongoing appointments.
-
Ongoing psychotherapy offers an opportunity to explore concerns, relationships, experiences, and hopes through conversations over time. Together, we can revisit questions, notice what is changing, and explore new possibilities as your circumstances and priorities evolve.
The direction, pace, and duration of our work are shaped collaboratively around what matters to you.
Consider Ongoing Psychotherapy if…
You would like to return to conversations over time, explore experiences in greater depth, or have an ongoing therapeutic relationship as you navigate changing circumstances.Cost is $165 for 60 minutes.
-
We don’t have to meet in an office. We can enjoy the benefits of nature-based practice, sharing conversation as we meet outdoors or walk a low intensity trail. Nature is a relational partner in our work.
Consider Walk-and-Talk Therapy if…
You find it easier to think, reflect, and talk while moving outdoors, or appreciate the opportunity to connect with your thoughts and feelings in a natural setting rather than sitting in an office. Cost is $165 for 60 minutes.
-
Sometimes it can be difficult to make it to in-person therapy. Travel and time can be barriers. Online or phone therapy can provide access to services free of these barriers. Our online portal is private and secure. Cost is $165 for 60 minutes.
-
The Clinical Consultation and Supervision program supports both experienced therapists and those new to the field. It’s an opportunity to reflect on practice and benefit from structured feedback, and guidance. Cost is $ 145 for the hour.
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.

“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.”
