Empowering counselling to help you achieve your goals
At Tranquil Tides, our passionate team believes that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. We practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy and are proud to provide a queer-positive and inclusive space. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance.
We understand that everyone's circumstances and needs are different but equally important. That's why we offer a range of counseling services, including individual therapy and couples counselling in both in-person and virtual formats. We also offer services to those experiencing issues related to substance use, anger management, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress and coping, and occupational stress injuries, among many other challenges.
