    • I contacted Tipping Point looking for a counsellor to assist me with overwhelming family dynamics and cycles of destructive thoughts. Julie has been a supportive, patient and caring counsellor that has provided useful and practical, as well as attainable, strategies to evaluate and adjust thought patterns. I have also learned self-soothing techniques to calm when emotionally overwhelmed and combat intrusive and destructive thoughts. Her demeanor has made it possible for me to share things that I had found impossible to verbalize before.

    • After several weeks of therapy at the Tipping Point Clinic, I feel fully confident that my PTSD can, and will be treated in a manner that will reform me to my old self. Dr Clayton’s non-medicinal treatment plan, while focused on care and understanding, has provided me with a sense that she “gets” what I’m going through.
