How to Get an Appointment
Online booking is available for weekly clinics only and is for clients who are not yet matched with a therapist. The booking portal opens every Monday for same-week appointments only. If it’s after Monday and the portal is closed, please call us to check availability.
Call Starting Monday
After 8:30 AM call (506) 382-0298.
First Come, First Served
While we recommend calling early since spots can fill up fast, don't hesitate to reach out later in the day or week as there may still be space. We're always happy to answer your questions!
What to Expect
Before Your Visit
We'll send you an email with two links: a questionnaire to tell us how you're feeling, and a consent form.
Under 16?
Consent forms must be signed by your parent or guardian.
Appointment Details
Sessions can be in-person, over the phone, via video chat, or through text messaging—always with privacy and safety measures in place.
Session Length
Each meeting lasts up to 60 minutes.
Options After Your First Session
Regular Counseling: After your initial session, your therapist will ask if you’d like to be added to our waitlist to be placed on a therapists caseload. If you’re looking for long term services, this is for you! You can use the Weekly Clinic two more times (for a total of 3) while you wait on the waitlist. There is no limit to sessions once on a therapists caseload, come weekly, biweekly or monthly for as long as you need it.
As-Needed Visits: If you’re looking for short term services, call into the Weekly Clinic once a month to speak with one of our therapists at a same day or same week session.

Our Counselling Philosophies
- Easier Access to Care Atlantic Wellness is on a bus route and we can access free bus passes to get you to your session. Our centrally located downtown office also offers ample free parking if you are a driver or are being driven.
- No Long Waitlists We offer a weekly youth mental health clinic which means you can get access to our services the same week you call. You can then access short term or long term services depending on your needs.
- FREE + Unlimited Therapy Sessions All services are 100% free to you (thanks to our generous donors), and there are no maximum number of sessions. No insurance or Medicare required.
- Support For You and Your Network Our Circle of Care approach means we work with your family, school, and other community programs to ensure you are supported in as many ways possible.
- Comfortable Surroundings Our space is friendly and decorated with you in mind. You won’t find any sterile white walls here.
- In-person, video, phone, or text message sessions Help the way you want it. Whether you prefer in-person sessions, on video and calls, or even through text. It’s your choice.
